Running spinrite against an SSD is one of the clearest ways of showing that it is complete BS. It will report all sorts of things about the drive that are clearly impossible. It won't error or give no data, it clearly makes things up about the drive.
Another good BS test for spinrite is to run it against a non-ATA drive that is still BIOS accessible. A booted USB flash drive is the best, but something like a modern SCSI/SAS controller works as well. It's clearly impossible for spinrite to access such a device directly, yet it still reports all sorts of things it simply could not see. No errors or blank data, it again makes shit up and displays it.
