I use SSDLife usually; as well as HDTune to run a sector check.

aah; I'm not familiar with that software, but I know SSD Life checks the SMART data and other parameters.
If you're using a tool that scans for bad sectors, a bad sector is a bad sector regardless if it's an HDD or an SSD (as far as I know, anyway)

I'm not entirely sure on this either, I'm just chiming in with my experience.
I use Pc-Check (Eurosoft, right? To make sure we're talking about the same thing.) and have had it pass an SSD that I know to be bad. The only test I know of, at this point, is the intel SSD toolbox http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...&DwnldID=18455 but that will only test intel drives. You can also read the smart data as mentioned, but that's not even 100% reliable on platter based hard drives.

I have used both crystaldiskinfo for SSDs and gsmartcontrol on linux

Just wondering if anyone has got any further with finding a decent diagnostics suite for use with SSD's.
Seems like manufacturers are a bit hit and miss with this. Anyone found anything that works, reliably?
