Update from HDD Sentinel after I filled up my SSD with lots of data (about 400 GB). 10 cycles read test - no bad sectors. Read-Write test - no bad sectors.

I've just checked my 970EVO Plus on my PC. Number of Error Information Log Entries:= 7000 :)

p.s. One more point. I don't have to convince Samsung. As far as I know, my relationship is with Asus and Asus representative (repair service provider) in my country. It may be easier path if you think replacement is necessary at this point.

One more good advice. This notebook is not my main device. I use PC. This notebook has PC's Dropbox. On my local network I have NAS. Dropbox is regularly backed up to NAS. And NAS is regularly backed up to external HDD (Toshiba 4TB). Currently I have my data in 3 or 4 places (PC HDD, NAS...

Oh sorry man... I am stupid. Not even Raid0. My discs are not connected in any way. Two discs. Each disc its own partition. Sorry, my mistake. But your explanation is great and good for others to read it in the future

P.S. About the healthy disc... or at least the one we think is healthy. Sandisk says this: https://es.transcend-info.com/Support/FAQ-1245 It seems that the "Number of Error Information Log Entries" does not mean much on its own... The healthy disc has big number of these errors also. Here is...

Interestingly after full format HDD Sentinel can no longer detect any bad sectors (it was 1 before). I will monitor the numbers in SMART in next days / weeks.

No, not RAID1. This notebook has functionality RAID1 or RAID0. Mine is RAID0 :) Each disc on its own!

I can't read that now because now HDD tests gives me 0 bad sectors (after the format). However now I will do some tests of this drive. First I will load it with tons of data (from certain backups). And then re-run the tests. Luckily this notebook has 2 identical discs, so I am safe with my data.

So, if I may ask for your conclusion? Stop using the disc and send out for warranty :) ?

Good point. The other healthy disc shows 0 "Media and Data Integrity Errors".... However it shows almost 6000 "Number of Error Information Log Entries".

I did already... 2 times. Quote: "0 KB in bad sectors." However, somehow I don't see this result are reliable. Even when the bad sector was present (before the format), chkdsk sometimes found bad sector, sometimes not :(

Sorry, but how do you mean "where"? I hope this screenshot helps (block 493): View: https://imgur.com/a/W1Lv8GQ P.S. I did a full format of this disc. Now HDD sentinel does not find bad sector anymore (3 passes, full disc). However, Windows still does not want to scan the drive. Chkdsk is...

Yes, SSD can get bad blocks :) Model of the disc is: https://semiconductor.samsung.com/ssd/pc-ssd/pm981a/mzvlb512hbjq-00-00-07/ Luckily this notebook has 2. The first one is fine, so all my data is now there. Not sure if smart will mean anything, because Samsung Magician does not work with...

Hi guys and girls :) I own Asus premium business notebook (B9400) with 2 SSD drives. Device is less than 2 years old. Today I somehow discovered one of my very old files is inaccessible. Long story short - the disc 2 (D) which is less important has 1 bad sector. I tried chkdsk and Windows...
