@IncubusAZ Have you clicked on the bell icon to the left of the REPLY button and selected "Watching"? That'll give you a notification if anyone posts to the thread.
(You've probably already done this, but I only mention it in case you hadn't seen it.)
@Gaylmah-0 Usually when I've bought SSD's in the past the manufacture has free software specifically for checking the health of the SSD, in particular the total uptime and number of read/write cycles as well as the overall health of the drive. As @ianfontinell said, if it's been reconditioned (hacked, if you prefer to look at it that way) then you probably can't rely on that data now. My understanding is that after too many cycles the storage degrades and becomes physically unviable, not something you can fix through software.
In all honesty I would consider that drive to be a brick and remember this entire lesson in the future. If you have data you care about, don't buy second-hand storage. At least you found out before you put treasured files on there and deleted the originals.
