Crystal Disk Info is purely for HD smart info. Magician will also do that but also notify you of drive firmware updates which is important. You can also set over provisioning to help with the lifespan of your drive.

You can set up over provisioning manually, use Disk Management or MiniTool partition wizard to shrink partition(s) and leave some unallocated space at the end of the drive. Magician just makes this easy to do, but if you do it yourself Magician will recognise and report the space you created as 'over provisioning'.
There's some debate whether over provisioning is of any benefit, particularly if your partitions have plenty of free space themselves.
PS: my 6.1.0 has finally noticed there's an update available, updated successfully from within Magician.

" There's some debate whether over provisioning is of any benefit, particularly if your partitions have plenty of free space themselves. "...........using about 10% of the SSD , the rest is free space !
So , no benefit at all .......10% is occupied by the OS , all other data is on HDDs........

We answered that, yet you're still arguing. Again, if it's not for you pass up and keep it moving.
Out.
