Retrieve SSD wear levels and remaining life values

jvb

Many manufacturers expose wear level info for SSDs installed in servers.

It would be very useful to pull those values in to SAM along with the standard hardware health info that is already being pulled.

Shouldn't be too hard to do.

Single disk, as on my laptop:

$disk = Get-PhysicalDisk

$name = $disk.FriendlyName

$health = $disk.HealthStatus

$extra = Get-PhysicalDisk| Get-StorageReliabilityCounter

$wear = $extra.Wear

Write-Host "Message: $name is reporting $health Wear:$wear%"

Write-Host "Statistic: $wear"

Or multiple disks, up to 10 anyway, remembering that SAM only allows 10 return values from a PowerShell script:

$disks = Get-PhysicalDisk

ForEach ($disk in $disks)

   {

     $id     = $disk.DeviceId

     $name   = $disk.FriendlyName

     $health = $disk.HealthStatus

     $extra = Get-PhysicalDisk| Get-StorageReliabilityCounter | Where {$_.DeviceId -eq $id }

     $wear = $extra.Wear

     $message = "Message." + $id

     $stat = "Statistic." +$id

     Write-Host "$message : $name $health wear = $wear %"

     Write-Host "$stat : $wear"

   }

Guess who's having a quiet day.
