hard drive - Testing Crucial SSD

I looked and did not find any SSD Hard Drive checking tools for Crucial like there are for other drives. Is there a way to test Crucial hard drives for failures other than SMART data?


I've done 2 fresh installs of Windows now on this drive and they end up not booting after a month. There is hardly anything installed on these systems so I find it hard to believe that updates and other aspects are crashing this system.


The drive is under 2000 power on hours so it is still very new.


I would like to know if this drive is still usable or not.

The drive can be accessed just fine via a live CD or via SATA cable.


Latest FIRMWARE


MX100


The issue the happens is Windows gets the black screen not able to boot. I've tried startup repair and other options but Windows never boots backup so I've had to resort to reinstalling on a formatted drive.
