Default SSD Wear Level Monitor Utilities

Anybody using these? I have tried them in the past, but all of my
previous SSD are on Asus EeePC and they don't work on them. Although I
have been playing around with two Dell Latitude ST with 128GB SSD (eSATA
drives). I am also a paid user of AnVir Task Manager. And it comes with
a open source utility called "Open Hardware Monitor". And one of the
things it reports is the wear level for SSDs.

What impresses me about this utility is how small it is. Sure I have
other utilities (some that costs lots of money) that gives more
information and allows adjustment of some settings. But this one gives
me all of the information that I am interested in real time.

So my question is for those who monitors their wear levels of their
SSDs, how accurate does "Open Hardware Monitor" compare to others that
you are using? And how much does does your SSD drop overtime? I am new
at this wear level monitoring and one reads 91% and the other at 88% and
neither have budged at all so far.
