Whats the condition of this SSD please?

looks fine to me. Run the performance benchmark and post another screen shot.

 

wear level?

 

Looks OK.

 

wear levelling count says 19, so i guess it should have 1000-19 =981 writes left???

i am buying this second hand, so i want to make sure its not on the verge of dying


edit: i guess i should have led with this question

 

You're right, it does tell you how many program/erase cycles have occurred. If you don't mind me asking though, where did you get that 1000?

but you made me double check, and i cannot find any official write endurance figures (form the very quick check i did)

As long as the write number is as low as Samsung magician says, then i am happy

 

Connect that SSD to your motherboard,be sure that it is the only connected hard drive,run a live session of Parted Magic and run its Secure Erase tool.
Will "reset" that SSD ,and it will be like brand new.

 

you mean fill it with zeros, or random data?

 

Secure erase will fill out memory cells with zeroes.
