not sure what you meant by that.

Never even knew G-skill made SSD's. how much did you pay for it and how many gigs?

I think S.M.A.R.T. is for HDD, not for SSD. You don't care that status. Many of them is not for SSD.

SMART works just fine for SSD. most will report their error rate, how many GB have been written/read from the drive, expected remaining writes, etc.

Yes. And furthermore, not all manufacturers use the same offsets for the same information. So the tool could easily be misreading the fields since they may not be aware of the format that the manufacturer decided to use. If the manufacturer doesn't provide their own tool to give the data, then I'd be wary of any results.
