I have several memory cards (Compact Flash and SD) and I'd like to check how much life there's left in them.
For my Mac drives I have an app called DriveRX which displays "wear levelling count" for SSDs and I assume this percentage value indicates how much life is left in it.

I'd like to find something similar (or even more extensive) for finding more out about my memory cards.
PS: I did come across a free Mac app called F3X which, according to this article, tests a card's performance and determines if it's fake. I'm running it as we speak, and don't know if it'll also show how worn out the card is but thought it might be useful nevertheless (apparently fake cards are quite common).

UPDATE: the memory card test completed with a "Success! Your card is OK", but there was no additional information as I had expected.
