- How to Use CrystalDiskInfo
CrystalDiskInfo is a free software tool that provides information about the health and performance of a computer's hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD). It can display various details such as the temperature, power-on time, and estimated remaining lifespan of the drive. The program can also warn the user if it detects any potential issues or errors with the drive, allowing the user to take action before the drive fails completely. Overall, CrystalDiskInfo helps users to monitor the health of their storage devices and avoid data loss due to hardware failure.

CrystalDiskInfo - What a great little techie app!! Check it out guys!
Thanks for making this!
You are very welcome, Thank you for commenting and watching!
thanks!
You are very welcome, and thank you for watching!
heyo, currently having issues, does 100 percent health mean its healthy completely or healthy at the moment? Ive had times where my games just dont open and clicking my S: drive location says, "does not exist," i reboot my pc and its back to normal?
Depends, if you run the test and it says 100% health then that is just what is it sees that moment. If you have a issue with the drive where at times it is not seen by the system as you describe, that could be a whole different issue. Point is, if you system sees the drive and crystaldiskinfo shows it 100%, then it would seem that the drive, as far as data retention is fine. I think you probably have another issue happening with the drive or the sata controller it is plugged into in your system. If it were me, id take another drive, plug it in where that one is and test it for a while, if the behavoir stops then you know you have a drive issue, if it continues, probably an issue with the sata connector (Or whatever interface) that it is plugged into. I hope this helps!
I appreciate you watching and commenting
Excellent video. Is it true that it takes several hours for bigger drives? I noticed you ran the test on two 4TB drives and I have a 5TB so I'm curious about that aspect.
Hi, hey thanks for the comment, I do appreciate it. So this tool just shows specifications and health on drives, and it does this instantly, so no it does not take long, when you click on the drive you want to view, it should populate the data right away. If not, you may have an issue.
@@SamHayden Very interesting, thank you! Come to think of it, people were talking about it taking hours specifically when doing a SMART test on a 4+ TB drive. I've been on a Mac for years and years so this is all a bit new for me, but fun to get into none the less.
@@Dousch Yes, doing one of those tests, we'll take a long time. And the bigger the drive, the longer it will take. And that it's pretty normal.
Hi, my C drive is a SATA SSD and it's displaying just dashes (- - - -) instead of "Total Host Reads" and the amount is also just displaying dashes i.e. no GB amounts, is that something to be worried about?
Same thing for my old HDD drives that I just use for storing videos and photos, but I am not as worried about those as I intend to upgrade them soon enough.
Good video, helped me understand what I was looking at!
Hey thanks for watching and commenting and thansk for the compliment on the video. So I actually noticed this as well. While my C drive will acxtually show the Total Host Reads, my 2 other drives will not. So I am tryign to figure out why. If I find an answer, I will post back here. Thanks again!
I have a yellow on reallocated sector count fix. Do you know what that means?
Hi, thanks for commenting, so if you are getting yellow on reallocated sector count, I would make sure you have good backups and keep an eye on the error count.
If it starts going up, I would plan to replace the drive. Biggest thing, please make sure you have backups of your important data. Usually this is an indication of a drive slowly strating to head on its way out. Hard to say how long until it happens though.
Hope this helps! Thanks again for the comment and for watching!
hi we almost have the samme ssd i got 2tb, but my ssd say PCIe 3.0 x2 | PCIe 3.0 x4 so that means i should get a better cabel or what ?
Could be a cable, could be what the motherboard supports. Best to just mess with different things to see if you can improve it. Thanks for commenting!
Hi, i got a SSD "refurbished" and the hours on count is 6000 but the life "good" is 99%? I contacted the seller and he said they refurbished it and the hours is the OLD hours not the new after Sandisk? had done it before he sold itto me. So if 6000 hours, ir wouldnt be reading 99% , more likely 80% or much lower so could he be telling the truth but why didnt the manufacturer reset the hours if they put in fresh unworn memory chips if thats what wears out in "life%" . Any ideas? I cant find a contact for CDinfo to ask them.
Thanks
Hi there, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. So I would think that 6000 hours is not the same as read and writes and it could be that the drive only had power on hours and not many reads and writes that couldf account for the 99% and "good". I would also be curious to know what the seller defines as "refurbished" Did they explain what their definition of refurbished is? Anyway just my guess on that.
@@SamHayden Yeah 6000 hours is year and a half!! So a long time but idling maybe with no action to "wear" the memory and thus 99%. I might have a long life for $20, BUT i will be emailing back to seller and asking point blank if the manufacturer replaced anything or just deep erased and not even reset the firmware which would zero the hours ect. No, this is "used" and tested perhaps and thats it. and will be giving feedback to that affect unless seller proves otherwise. Ebay is very strict on these things so perhaps they be interested? hmm 6000 hours is what it reads NOW, not the "old" data, thats stupid and i defy the seller to explain that away.
Yo
ive been using my pc since almost 3 years and my SSD is at 64% status? Should I be worried? Every current stat is at 100 except my temperature it's at 65
Hi, thanks for the comment. If your health status is at 64% first thing I would do is make for certain that you have a backup in place for that drive and then I plan on replacign that drive in the near future. Just please make sure you have a backup for it in cause the drive dies. You should be good for a while but you also never know.
Hope this helps, thanks again for the comment and for watching
I noticed that before you saved, the health status said "good" around the 8:30 mark in the video, it then shows 100% under "good". How did that change?
Hey nice catch, I didnt even notice that. I am not sure how that changed, however; I can tell you, I have read that "Good" is "100%" so I am sure it is the same, just not sure why it suddenly started showing. Thank you for watchign and commenting. If you are a new subscriber, thank you!
@@SamHayden I'm troubleshooting a RAID10 setup where Intel Rapid Storage Technology shows a disk as failed but both the Western Digital Dashboard and Crystal Disk Infor shows the disk as good. I've ordered a replacement drive and backed up everything, but I stumbled upon your video troubleshooting that. I hadn't ever seen the percentages and I thought maybe it was a setting I was missing, and wanted to turn on.
@@SamHayden I think it's an SSD vs HDD thing. My SDDs show the exact percentage while my HDD does not
Hello, I bought a new laptop and I have doubts that the ssd is not new, but used. CrystalDiskinfo shows:
Total host reads: 947GB
Total host writes: 889GB
Power on count: 748
Power on hours: 50 hours
I have installed only Windows 11, 140GB for games and some small programs. I did the check about a day after i bought
the laptop. Is it normal to have so many reads/writes operations?
Hey thanks for the comment I would say that I agree with you, especially with the power on count. There is no way that a new hard drive should be showing 748 power ons. The power on hours I wouldnt be so concerned about because maybe they let it sit powered on for sometime before boxing them up, like as a test or something But I dont know if they do that or not. Like i said, I agree I dont think that hard drive is new as stated. i would contact the manufacturer and have it replaced. Unless of course it is a mechanic drive, then I would just replace with an VNME/SSD. Thanks again for the comment and watching. if you are a new subscriber, thank you!
@@SamHayden It is a ssd, thanks for the answer, I appreciate it!
@@RBooop You are very welcome, any time!
great video! but my health status is at 34% should i think about buynig a new pc or a new hdd?
Hi there, thanks for watchign and the comment. Yeah 34% is NOT good. Yes I highly recommend you get the data off of that and replace the drive. But I recommend going with a SSD or NVME (If your PC allows it) and NOT an HDD.
@@SamHayden Ok thanks! im planing to buy a new pc anyway so its not a problem for me. but i would like to know why its better to buy SSD or NVME and not a new hard drive.
@@w0rkwings A SSD or NVME has several benefits. Mainly speed and performance. No moving parts. I have a video that explains a little about this if you want to take a look. ruclips.net/video/oxFi-I99gK0/видео.html
Why it is asking every time to install app?
Going to need more info. When is it asking you to install an app? Is it sayign what app to install. I just installed this on a new machine and its fine not asking me to install anything else.
@@SamHayden done..I was doing soms mistake..thansk bro..
@@rawatranjeet1421 You are welcome!
What if my SSD is displayed as "Good", but it's on 48%. What does that mean?
Hi Martin, usually what that means is that the disk is overall good and operates fine, however; its at 48% life left. This has to do with the amopunt of writes an SSD can take. You probably have some time but I would start looking at replacing the drive
@@SamHayden OK, thx for your answer. Have a nice rest of your day!
@@JustMartin2004 You are welocme, and you as well
it keeps saying disk not found and im using ssd
Hi thanks for commenting, I will need more info. Is there only 1 drive in the computer you are scanning on? Is it finding any drives at all? Is it an external drive? There could be many reasons for this but need to know more.
@SamHayden I only have one drive, and no it's not detecting any drive.
@@nazairx Weird, do you happen to have "AMD Store MI" installed? Either way, try uninstalling crystaldiskinfo and reinstall and make sure you get the latest version.
@@SamHayden idk what amd store mi is but I have amd gpu
@@nazairx no worries, yeah I wouyld try uninstalling and reinstalling crystaldiskinfo with the newest installer, aside from that, I m not sure what the issue could be, I have never seen that
