As you might know, the Intel toolbox can tell you the number of host writes in TB to your drive.
Well, if you open it in a non Intel tool though, you only get some hex value.
-> in my case the hex value is 33A91 which translates to 211601 in decimal.
The Intel toolbox tells me I have had 6,46TB of host writes.
So, being a maths student I started to fiddle around a bit![]()
And law and behold - 211601*32/1024/1024 = 6,45755 (5 decimal places)
-> 32 is 8*4 and that's where I actually came from... so, I wonder now:
Is this the correct conversion, can you test it for your drive? Is this documented somewhere?
If it works for other people, that's most likely the conversion used, if it doesn't it is just a current special case on my drive when this holds true.
Thanks![]()

CrystalDiskInfo will give You the value in TBs, no need for conversion and calculating. My G2 has had 2.48TB written to it, 13CFD in hex.

Only the Intel toolbox gives me the TB value.
-> 13CFD is 81149 in decimal,
81149 * 2^5 / 2^20 = 81149 / 2^15 = 2,47647 -> sounds right
Intel G2 users - the hex value in Smart for host writes
