Suppress 90% Health Alerts for SSDs Only

Post by MikhailCompo »

I have a workstation with both HDD'S and SSD's.

I am receiving alerts as the wear leveling indicator shows one SSD as 90%. I do not want to replace this drive yet. How change the threshold for SSD's to a lower, more suitable value?

Also, do the developers not feel a lower value, for this metric alone, is more suitable? Some users would be led to believe their drive needs replacing due to this default configuration.

Thanks.

Please double click on the health % bar on the overview page of the SSD.

This opens the custom health dialog where you can specify custom yellow (warning) and red (alert) thresholds for the selected device, so warning/alert will be triggered only when these reached, instead of the global thresholds (which configured at Configuration -> Thresholds/tray icon page).

This can be used for any device to specify custom thresholds.
For example, you may set the global threshold to 90% (for hard disks) and 50% for the SSD.

No: the default configuration is that the warning threshold is 50% and alert threshold is 25% only (not 90%) for all devices.
Yes, there may be mission critical situations where users may replace hard disks with 90% (or even sooner) but it may be a bit too strict.
