    I have a first gen Vertex 120GB in my work laptop that’s been going strong for 1.5 years so far.  SSDLife says I’ve used 70% of it’s life span at this point, though.  It gets used pretty heavily.

    You might want to try a secure erase on your SSD and see if SSDLife reports higher life span. If anything, it will restore your write performance to stock. I did this on my G.Skill the last time I built a system up and it went from 81% back to 100%. I’m really not sure how accurate the life span estimates of SSDLife are, but it is an interesting tool to have.
