High number of "Unsafe Shutdown Count"

Andersson — Sat, 16 Nov 2019 21:57:25 GMT

I have had my Intel 520 240GB for a few years, and I just noticed in SSD Toolbox that it has got a very high number of "Unsafe shutdown count/Unexpected Power Loss Count"

Both are at 2247. Why do you think this number is so high?

I can't see what could be causing it, I am always turning my PC off the way it should be done.

Thank you in advance.

This may mean that the storage driver or your BIOS is not doing something considered necessary during shutdown (and transition to S5 state). Regardless, as far as I know, this is just an informational attribute. Don't worry about these kinds of attributes unless/until the drive starts reporting its pending demise.

Hope this helps,
