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.

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.

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.
