Thanks for the advise! 

I've checked a couple of my Intel 520s which I use for the osd journals and 
have been using them for almost 2 years now. 
I do not have a great deal of load though. Only have about 60vms or so which 
have a general usage. 

Disk 1: 
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 
233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 096 096 000 Old_age Always - 0 
225 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 5754781 

Disk 2: 
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 
233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 095 095 000 Old_age Always - 0 
225 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 5697133 

So, from what I can see, I still have 95 and 96 percent left on the disks and 
they have done around 190 TeraBytes, which seems like a lot for a consumer 
grade disk. Or maybe I am reading the data wrongly? 

Thanks 

Andrei
