So I bought a ssd off of ebay. $5.40 shipped. Kingston 120gb.
I’ve yet to connect it to my pc. I’ll be first disconnecting my hard drive, and then connecting this hard drive. Unclear it’s contents. I’ll be booting off a ZorinOS livecd.
Is there any tool I can install on the livecd to check the overall health of my ssd? I know literally nothing about it’s past, and I realize theres a significant chance I just bought junk.
I’m new to linux. Like brand new. So don’t just say 'Yeah, install SSDChecker V.5.035 from the repo". Assume I’m an idiot, and have zero clue how to do the thing you’re asking. Not that I won’t do it, but maybe link to a newbie guide on how to do the thing.
I use this hdsentinel
Oooooh, I like this. I hope I can install this when I get home. It looks exactly like what I was hypothetically imagining in my head.
yes it is easy to install. there are instructions. i installed it by simply running the installation script which is in the archive as a program and everything is fine
