Re: Checking life of SSD drives

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did just try on another customer system where we did a PTF run last 
evening and my screen was still up. Believe it or not I did NOT get 0's. 
 All four SSDs are at 1%.
These are type SFF-3 370GB FC #5B13 in a Power8 System Unit.
