Essential Download: Check the health of your removable drives with SSDLife

These days, most people rely on USB memory sticks to transfer files between computers and take documents with them while on the move. Indeed, the USB memory stick has pretty much totally replaced the floppy disk, and the same Solid State memory technology is used in a wide variety of different devices such as MP3 players and digital cameras. While Solid State memory is less error prone than the floppy disk, there are a number of problems that can occur with Solid State drives, and almost all will lead to data loss.

This week’s essential download – SSDLife – will help you avoid problems with your Solid State drives, by allowing you to see all kinds of useful information, such as how often the drive has been written to and what the drives current health status is. Most importantly, it will give you a prediction of when your drive is likely to fail, meaning that you can copy your important data from it before a fatal crash occurs.
