I think it will, in part, depend on how software handles it. I’m guessing quite a few people just look at the health summary in software like Crystal Disk Info. If this makes the summary go from green to yellow, it’s going to fool a lot of people.

People who actually look at the individual stats and warnings will probably just shrug it off. Hell, I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten used drives that had over 3 years logged before I even put them in service, and that didn’t bother me.
