I googled it some more and found a utility called CrystalDiskInfo. It reports all parameters as 100% including expected life. Its about 17 months old and only used for OS and Flight Sims, anything else is on 2 HDDs. I even keep emails etc on a HDD. So, no panic 
If anyone wants more info...

When I built this last pc, a little over a year ago, I was very worried after reading a lot of bad stories about SSD's. After a year of use, I'm really happy with the two Crucial M4's I got. The performance didn't decreased one bit and I don't have to defrag them.
I have the OS on the 128GB SSD, games on the 256GB SSD and everything else on the regular drives. The machine is blazing fast.
I think the SSD's are the parts that gave me the biggest speed boost in this build.
