SSD has 1% remaining drive life?

[soldatz]

Just out of curiosity, I ran CrystalDiskInfo on my OCZ Vertex Turbo and was shocked to discover that it has only 1% drive life remaining!

SSDLife confirms this information. See: http://imgur.com/a/NAZbo

I ran this drive in RAID 0 with an identical Vertex Turbo for about two years, and the latter drive still shows 100% drive life.

My two part question is 1) how serious is this and 2) how did this happen to only one of the two drives?

I don't have any data stored on the drive, just looking for information here.

Nothing to worry about, my vanilla Vertex is reporting the same for over a year now. I'm guessing the firmware implementation/readings are incompatible.

wasn't there a firmware patch to fix that?
