lol mine is over 2 years old and it's at 80% but is still predicted to last longer than most of yours.......
Firmware 1.5 ? Did you flash it recently ?
@Infinite: Any reason for not upgrading to 1.6?
Harumffff. :(
It doesn\'t recognise SSD\'s in Raid 0.
Booooo!

I just realised I overlooked that yours is a Vertex and not Vertex2.Quote:

The 320 series come with 5 year warranty, so they must have confidence in that too.Quote:

You think we'll still be using such 'small, slow and outdated' equipment then? :oQuote:

This software is a load of crap IMHO.
SSD on the 17th after around three weeks of usage.

SSD tested today.

Indexing and defragmentation are switched off and the page file is on a hard disk.
Look on the bright side! If this software is correct you can claim a new drive under warranty.Quote:

It says 95% but whats with the bull**** 1 year 10 month value??Quote:

It really does seem that it comes up with weird lifespan values for OCZ Vertex drives.
Edit!!

"I updated the firmware and the drive health fell dramatically. What's the matter?
This problem became widely known after firmware 1.5 for OCZ Vertex, Onyx drives had been released. A lot of users complained that, after they had updated the firmware, the drive health fell dramatically, for example, from 80% to 45%.
The thing is that OCZ decided to revise the maximum number of erasing operations for flash memory and reduced it by 50% from 10 000 to 5 000 (we think they did it just to be on the safe side). And since the reliability and wear of an SSD is calculated depending on these figures, the estimated lifetime in S.M.A.R.T. parameters changed as well. Honestly getting information over from the drive manufacturer to the user, SSDLife just showed this fact :)"
Like I said before, Under firmware 1.10 my drives health was 98% and when I flashed to 1.33 it changed to 100%. It does seem by reading your links that it is firmware dependant.
The only thing I'm not seeing is are the drives being restricted to 5000 erases by the firmware or will it just keep going until the transistor fails?
