Someone found a gauge but it only works for the "read intensive" SSD's,
not for my models.
I don't think they would all die at once. So what I did was use RAID5
with two hot spares. (I have plenty with space to spare. While I get
that leaving 1.4TB tied up in hot spare may choke some greybeard who
remembers a 5MB platter being a big thing.)

We had some even older SSD's on our Power 6. We didn't bring them across.
That was a much smaller pool, I think it was only four drives.)
