The SSD drive also reports its own personal view of lifetime remaining
and other interesting statistics using
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T%2E.

    173 Ave_Block-Erase_Count   -O--CK   095   095   000    -    77
    202 Percent_Lifetime_Remain ----CK   095   095   001    -    5

`smartctl -x /dev/sda', for example, can gather the data.
