I am running windows and using smartontools. I have a 1Tb Sandisk X400 SSD on SATA and am trying to diagnose some bad block errors. I am new to this tool and need some things cleared up. Firstly, I ran an extended scan with "smartctl -t long /dev/sda" (I assume '/dev/sda' is the correct drive?). I ran this twice, and then did "smartctl -a /dev/sda" to get the results. Here is what I got: pastebin link
I am not sure how to find the number of bad blocks. I am also not sure why many so many attributes appear unknown. I also need to know how often I should be getting bad blocks before failure is imminent. I need to know if I should replace my drive.
