You are absolutely correct, SSD's do have a finite amount of write capacity and SpinRite will lower that due to it's very nature, at least 6.1 will. However I think you are over estimating the amount of wear it will place on the drive.

I understand the objection and it's a valid one. I have used it on my boot SSD to restore it's performance to great effect, do I recommend using it every year on a SSD no i don't.

As this post is mostly about data recovery, I still believe it's a valid option and the performance increase is just a nice bit of bonus information.

One of the interesting side effects of running it in an ssd is it can speed it up, it doesn't sound like it would be the case but it does.

None the less its still a valid option to consider.

If it a failing disk, and you dont have any backup, and its important data.

Have a look at a product callef SpinRite. It may bring the disk back from the dead long enough to get the data off

Then 3 2 1 backup strategy for your future needs.

Assuming BitLocker wasnt enabled and if so you backed up your key. Otherwise your data is gone.
