I have a Linx 10 tablet and I am looking for a utility which will allow me to see SMART data from the SSD drive. I have tried both Speedfan and CrystalDiskInfo but neither of them can find the installed SSD drive. I have tried running the programs as administrator but it makes no difference. Has anyone tested any of these with their Linx and had any more luck? Or have you found another program that works?

Which OS? Windows 8.1?

Yes, Windows 8.1.

Can you see what make/model the drive is in Device Manager? Often the manufacturer has utilities to interrogate the drive.

The SSD is a Hynix HBG4e.

Are you sure it supports SMART? A lot of older eMMC-based devices don't as it only recently became a requirement to support it.

I had a look an another forum and I have found that it does not support SMART.

It has SD card technology in it. Its pretty dumb and likely the first point of total failure. Best not use a swap file if you want it to last. As to whether W8 is safe to use I guess sucking it to see is how it goes

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with eMMC-based storage. it's widely used throughout the mobile device industry, including in several MS Surface variants.

In fact, a bit of Googling suggests that the very same unit the OP has is also used in the Surface, so suggesting it's not suitable for Windows is rather silly.

Yes, but Windows is historically very heavy on writes. The awfulness of the memory longevity at least let's one understand the non use of swap files in mobile stuff.

This cheap memory option is a good reason to be a bit wary of using this as the main PC
