found about this app recently and decided to install it. Not sure what this means but I'm worried because its the SSD my OS is installed on. (all my files are already backed up to backblaze)
EDIT: turns out its my old external hard drive with issues not my ssd. All good! thanks for the help!
Edit: just saw the other comment. Yeah this looks like a HDD. If so dismiss everything I said below.
How long have you had that ssd? SSDs have a limited number of read/writes and you could be approaching the limit.
It could still last a while though. Just keep backing up your stuff and if it starts acting slow or not working properly, you know its time to get a new drive.
Yeah turns out its luckily the hdd having issues. Ive had the ssd almost 5 years so hopefully it stays good for a while
