I have an SSD drive, Seagate Firecuda. The drive seems to operate normally, Windows doesn't detect any issues with it. But when I pull it up in Explorer, it takes a rather long time to display contents. Anything I can check to see if it is having errors Windows wouldn't report?

It says health Status Good 99%, temp is 24C

What is a long time to display content? Seconds?
10-20 ?
It’s at least 2 years used and almost 4 tb writes

About 5 from my count, though I have opened it today already, usually a bit faster after the first time

Lookup the mtbf of this drive google it
Mean time between failures. And see when it’s expected to fail
You could try to update firmware
If that’s possible with this drive

I was looking at that right now, see if it had one.

Also try to look up eventviewer

Seagate's page says no newer one available.
They have a DOS diagnostics tool, might try that and see if it has any other results

Yeah crystaldiskinfo is not the most clear tool readability wise should suggest them some upgrades or UI fixes

Yeah saw the same page as you did but look up the specific model
The generic seagate firecuda page is the same I landed one when googling

The specific model page looks like the same:
Game confidently with the durability of up to 5,600 TB total bytes written (TBW).
With a robust 1.8M hours mean time between failures (MTBF), you’ve got roughly 82
years of gaming ahead of you.
Up to 4 TB of capacity means you can accumulate games without fear of maxing out
space.

Ah here is something
seems like you found sonething
sudden wadi
ah, they all say the same 😦 Just the bytes written changes with capacity
