I was having issues with my RAID array so I downloaded Stablebit Drive Scanner (SDS) and HD Tune to do some error checking. In the process, I get alerted by SDS that my 950 Pro has bad sectors/blocks totaling 6.0KB. HD Tune also showed that the 950 Pro has 3 bad blocks.
My question is, do I need to worry about this? Some articles I read online say this is completely normal for SSDs and you shouldn't worry. However, in my opinion, bad blocks are....bad. I did contact Samsung regarding warranty/RMA since it's only 2 years old (almost to the day). However, I don't know what their threshold for bad blocks is.
I should note, Samsung Magician software and other SMART software find no issues with the SSD - Only those two pieces of software thus far.
As an aside, I cannot upgrade windows 10 off of 1607. It errors out every time, failing at the downlevel phase for the first boot. I'm going to create a separate thread in the OS forum, but I wonder if this is due to the bad sectors?
Any help is appreciated!
