I'm probably wrong, but I was under the impression that there is something I could do when my battery percentage gets low.
Got a tip for us?

My point is that I don't want to obsess over it. I personally get agitated as I watch the battery percentage drop while I'm using my phone, even by small and reasonable amounts, so I just keep them turned off. There's no sense in my getting worked up about a number I really can't do anything about.
What would happen to the SSD if it reaches 5% of the life left? So, SSD would stop working when it reaches 0%. Only one year and used up 10% of its life already? wow....Do you think it would weaken faster or something as it gets older? I never owned a SSD, but I've heard that hybrid SSD are cheaper but for the reliabity, I have no idea about that.
In ten years when his SSD gives out, imagine how pissed he's going to be.
Probably would have to upgrade in 5 years. 10 years would be a dinosaur at the time.
Long article, but give this a read. They hammered the heck out of a SSD 24-7 to see what would happen and documented the results. The short answer to your question is the SSD does not just stop all of a sudden... you would start getting "uncorrectable errors" and that is the clue to buy a replacement SSD as yours is dying.
Interesting, thanks.

75 years for an average lifetime. Not bad at all. Mechanical hard drive in my Mac mini is slow!
WARNING:
Running the utility will cause additional wear on your SSD.
Joking aside, as said, do not obsess over this. This is expected wear out, it may last 10 times longer and probably will last at least twice as long. Laptops are made to last about 5 years, looks like you are using yours just about right!
