How can I check my SSD lifespan?

How can I check the lifespan of my SSD? Is there a built-in feature on Windows 8?

If not, what could I do to check it?

1This is incorrect. There's a SMART parameter, SSD Life Left. Is it perfect? Certainly not, but it's generally a reasonable estimate. – ChrisInEdmonton – 2014-09-12T20:41:49.770

Its an estimate. There is no accurate way to know the answer. – Xavierjazz – 2014-09-12T20:43:10.207

1When is such information not an estimate? The lifetime for almost every piece of hardware is only estimated. I think the goal isn't to know the accurate lifetime but a approximate value to know the general health. – ap0 – 2014-09-12T20:51:44.700

I always used CrystalDiskInfo for precise Information. And SSDlife to view the health of it. I may not tell you acurately the lifespan but for example how many dead cells are on your SSD.

If you have a Samsung SSD there is also Samsung Magician Tool.
