MAC OS Check TBW of SSD

On your Mac, you can use Terminal to see the amount of data you’ve written to your drive.

  1. Install HomeBrew
  2. Install smartmontools using the following command
brew install smartmontools

List disks

diskutil list

List disk SMART information

sudo smartctl --all /dev/disk0

You will get something like:

‘Data Units Written is the total TBW of your SSD.

Windows doesn’t have a built-in way to check the amount of data you’ve written to disk, so you must instead turn to a third-party application. I use CrystalDiskInfo, a free program that’s easy to use.

Cheers and Peace out !!!
