RE: Checking life of SSD drives

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry / Rob,

IBM was checking back with me on this PMR.
I reported that no one has seen anything above 0% life used for the Enterprise SSD.
They are checking further, I will keep everyone posted.

Paul

However, has anyone yet received anything other than 0% Life Used?

Interesting.

Ran it on a couple systems with SSDs both on i 7.3 with current PTFs and 
while the drives are happily reported the usage reports 0 on all drives 
of both systems.

Hmmmm.
