I have an OCZ Agility 3 - 60GB (SATA III) purchased in 2012 and it is still working well!

That is an interesting "Power-On Count Hours" number of 919873 A little unusual perhaps? 105 years is some pretty decent reliability I must admit 😉

Try crystal disk info and see if it reports there.
It doesnt show....

forgive my ignorance and/or laziness... but what tool are you all using to read the health of your drives in %? i have 2 256gb crucial m3's in raid0 (need the IOPS) for my home server lab that i have been abusing on and off for the last 4 years, and am curious to see how much estimated life i have left in the drives.

As SSD bench and i use SSDOK . Once you run AS SSD , click on view and select iops.

CrystalDiskInfo will show it My Samsung 512GB 850 Pro shows "Good 100%" in the Blue Square despite writing 24TB. Pretty impressive really 🙂

Lot of software's are going to do the same. Diskinfo is fine as well, just like the others.

Never used OCZ again after they were caught selling vertex 2 drives that did not meet specs and went to Samsung and thankfully avoided their ssd sh*tshow! Using a Crucial mx200 now, probably explode or fill itself with CP or something. Crucial's SSD software point-blank refuses to run no matter what I do. Nice to see this test was followed through and yielded results. IMO premium-end SSDs are a complete false economy for the 99%, size/cost is king, they all are blazingly fast since sata 2 anyhow. Also, I use a ramdisk to keep the writes to drive at a sane level considering my heavy net usage, available for free from dataram and 1GB is more than enough to junction your cache to.

I still have 2 Vertex 2 drives I use for games. They still perform the same as the day I bought them in 2011. They have outlasted any mechanical drive that I have hammered this hard.

Two years already... big thanks to Hilbert and OCZ for making this happen. Some good definitely came out of it, and I actually learned a bit in the process. And if anyone looks at my posts and is wondering what is wrong with me that I have so many "unscheduled" shutdowns; I tested many many unstable OC settings.

FireFox does a LOT of writes to my SSD, I know I have up to about 20 windows open each with Many tabs. This equates to about 49GB or writes per day.
You're nuts. There's no reason to ever have 20 Windows open. Not even while doing University research. Prioritise. Even so, 49gb per day is nothing. On modern SSDs you will die before the SSD does with that much written per day

Many SSDs show data and/or firmware corruption within a month if left with no power source. That isn't really a realistic usage pattern though as most users apply power periodically.
Neither realistic nor true anymore. With older generation SSDs perhaps but not with the current gen

24Tb is a very small amount for those drives 🙂

As much as I like Samsung, I always like testing other brands for price performance.. I've had: Crucial C300 128GB Samsung 830 256GB Samsung 840 EVO 250GB Samsung 840 Pro 256GB Samsung 850 EVO / m.2 250GB/250GB Toshiba Qs 256GB/256GB OCZ Toshiba TRION 150 960GB Toshiba XG3 128GB NVMe They've all been good to me so far, none of them had any errors except for the 840 EVO degrading issue a while back but was fixed by firmware and whatnot. If you had issues in a previous generation doesn't mean you'll have it again from the same company. Even the well loved Samsung had its faulty drives.
