RBC's value is 100 - (100 * RBC/MRB). RBC = Retired Block Count and MRB = Minimum Required Blocks, according to SandForce.Health Status : Good (94 %)
05 247 247 __3 00000000000000 Retired Block Count
E7 _94 _94 _10 00000000000000 SSD Life Left
If that formula is accurate, then how the heck do I have 247% ?
This is on a new, out of the box SSD with 0 data written to it.
I have found that any maker of Sandforce products have odd SMART readings on new SSDs, from forums like OCZ & Corsair & Gskil & Mushkin & ...
This guy has 12 new sandforce SSDs that all report different things.

Anandatech should show the SMART attributes for all SSDs they get in, and see what the deal is.
Doing some searching, it seems that Sandforce SSDs have lots of issues with SMART data, so the question is, why can't Sandforce fix the issue(s) in the way it writes SMART data ?
