RE: SSD performance article

<snip>
Is there an indicator or something to tell you how much life is left on an
SSD?
</snip>

Good question. STRSST does have some nice stuff in there for cache
batteries and the like. IDK if there's any such area for SSD's

<snip>
How does one even attempt to predict SSD life expectancy?
</snip>

I can imagine IBM would be happy to tell you that. The problem is that it
would involve gathering so much statistical data and some complicated math
that in the end you'll abandon the project. And they will still cover
themselves with disclaimers that any fluctuation in workload and whatnot
will change the outcome.
