It is not clear what unit of flash this represents. I doubt it is really a 512B sector. I think it would either be a 4KB page, or possibly a full erase block (512KB?). Regardless, there should be plenty of extra flash, since Intel SSD's normally keep about 7% of stated capacity in reserve.
Gotcha. I'm no storage guru here. I just have a bag of popcorn and F5 to see the results in this thread. Haven't Anvil and One_Hertz exceeded the expected life of these 40GB SSD's? Please correct that statement if I'm wrong. If so I wouldn't you expect a large amount of the nand to be bad?

The smallest unit of space on an SSD must be the page size so one "sector" can't be smaller than the page size, even if one "sector" represents a full erase-block it would take quite a few of them to make an impact. (2048 per GB if the erase-block was 512K)
So we don't know what the SMART data is referencing to for a sector?
