You mentioned Drive Scope in another thread, and after looking at it I wrote it off as an awfully pricey - $50 - one trick pony, but a bit of digging revealed that my old TTP 6 serial # enabled me to buy it for ONLY tongue $30, so I reclassified it from written-off to back-burnered, and now Jon's mention of a drive having gone south - the first such mention in a considerable period of time - has got me scratching my head.

While sorting through the dandruff flakes, though, I found DriveDx for $20, but 10 bucks is 10 bucks, and unlike Drive Scope, it offers a free trial, which reported the following partial results (...only an extract, but it seems to be something of a summary. I'll post the entire report if you're interested.):

I also found SSD reliability in the real world: Google's experience | ZDNet, which is comprehensible, at least to a degree, even by me.
