Intel® Solid-State Drive Toolbox User Guide Estimated Life Remaining On the home screen, Estimated Life Remaining reports the estimated percentage of remaining life of the selected Intel SSD. This estimate is based on the E9 SMART attribute. Endurance calculations are estimated and may vary. The estimation shown is based on the applied workload and is not accurate if the workload changes. Estimates are based on your usage to date and will not extend or reduce the SSD warranty period. Note: Estimated Life Remaining is reported for Intel SSDs only with SMART enabled. Drive Capacity On the home screen, the capacity pie chart reports the amount of used and free space available on the selected Intel SSD. The pie chart appears for Intel SSDs with valid partitions only. The pie chart does not appear for SSDs without a valid partition or for SSDs installed as a cache. Note: The total usable capacity may be less than the total physical capacity because a small portion of the capacity is used for NAND flash management and maintenance purposes.
