Just migrating from ESXi to Proxmox and I noticed a discrepancy in the SSD life indicator.

Proxmox shows the Wearout as 97% (which I understand to be bad, that the drive is at 97% of its life, the lower the number the better).

But when I look at the SMART values for the same drive it shows the SSD_Life_Left is 97% (which I understand is good, the higher the number the better).

So which is correct? 97% is either really good or really bad.
 
I have one machine running with wearout of -141%, yes that is minus 141%.
SMART says id 202, Percent lifetime remaining 115.

i didnt know life_left, but wearout is definitly bad.

new ssd have wearout 0 and this is growing with time.
