I bought the Drive in the 500gb Variant this week, cloned Windows on it. (About 250gb)  
Then i opened Crystaldiskinfo and it tells me:  
“Media Wearout Indicator Raw Value 6”  
The good and bad Values should be 1.  
Upper left CDI says “1% Life caution”.  
It has not been used before by the GB Written values.  
Is this normal?
