SSD Temp & Wear for Windows

See SSD health, life left and drive temperature on your Stream Deck keys

To see your SSD temperature and health on a Stream Deck, add SSD Temp & Wear for Windows and drag a Drive Health or Drive Temperature key onto your Stream Deck: it shows your system drive (C:) right away, with Good, Caution or Bad, the life left in % and the live temperature with a graph. It reads the drive's own SMART data straight from Windows as a normal user, for NVMe SSDs (M.2), SATA SSDs and SATA hard drives.

Stream Deck plugin · Works on Windows 10 or later with the Stream Deck app 6.9 or later.

What you can do

• Know your drive's health at a glance: the Drive Health key shows Good, Caution or Bad with the life left in % below. When a drive is not Good, the key says why, such as "Life 7%", "Spare low" or "Reallocated 3".
• Watch the temperature: the Drive Temperature key shows the live temperature with a short graph, turns yellow 5 degrees before your alert temperature and red at it, with one short alert on the key when it gets there.
• Pick the alert: the drive's own limit, or any temperature from 50 to 80 °C. Celsius or Fahrenheit.
• Track wear: the Data Written key shows how many TB your PC has written to the SSD, to compare with the rated endurance (TBW) on the drive's data sheet.
• See the running time: the Power-On Hours key shows the total hours, with days or years below.
• Several drives: press a key for the next drive, or pick one in the key's settings. Each key keeps its own drive.
• Five looks for every key: Classic, Neon, Ring, Bars and Solid. Settings in English or Japanese.
• No extra monitoring software, no administrator rights, no account. The readings stay on your PC; nothing is sent anywhere.

How it works

1. Install the plugin from the Elgato Marketplace. In the Stream Deck app, find SSD Temp & Wear for Windows in the action list.
2. Drag Drive Health, Drive Temperature, Data Written or Power-On Hours onto a key. It shows your system drive (the one with C:) right away.
3. Press the key to show the next drive, or click the key to pick the drive, the alert temperature, the unit and the look.

Readings are refreshed every 10 seconds for NVMe SSDs, every 60 seconds for SATA SSDs and every 10 minutes for hard drives. A drive that stops answering shows "no answer" instead of old values.

Limits

• Windows only (Windows 10 or later). Not for Mac.
• USB enclosures and USB sticks: Windows shares their drive data with administrator tools only, so the keys show "USB: n/a". Connect the drive inside the PC (SATA or M.2) to see it.
• Life left on SATA SSDs is read the way each maker's drives report it. WD and SanDisk SATA SSDs, and SATA SSDs of makers the plugin does not recognize, show "--" for life left; temperature, hours and the drive's own failure warning still show.
• Data written on SATA SSDs is shown for Samsung, Crucial/Micron and Intel drives; on other SATA SSDs the Data Written key shows "--".
• Drives behind a RAID controller or a maker's own storage driver may show "--".
• Tested on Windows 11 with an NVMe SSD.
