My 120GB SSD on odd occasions is showing that I have o bytes free. In reality Ive got 60GB free on it.

A reboot fixes it straight away.

Is the drive on it's way out?
It works fine otherwise

0 bytes could also be an indication of the OS believing the drive is read-only. I'd have a look at it's SMART stats. Your vendor should have a tool to show you that, or something like HWInfo64 can also do it for you.

I'll look at the SMART stats.

I'm not sure it's that though because windows gives a low disk space warning.

I've not personally seen this issue, mine and in general most just tend to die out right after what appears to be some slowness etc.

The SMART stats shows the drive to be healthy.
I've updated the Firmware so see if that fixes anything.

If it happens again i'll run the SMART stats while it's showing 0 bytes.

Odd thing is it's quite rare and quite random!
