John_M Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I had an SSD in my cache pool fail so I replaced it. Now, I'm trying to decide what to do with the removed SSD. I put it in an external case and connected it by USB and ran badblocks -wvs /dev/sdq which revealed some errors. I've since run an extended SMART test and the same badblocks command and it seems to have remapped the bad blocks and is stable again (badblocks -wvs /dev/sdq returned 0/0/0 errors the second time). I'm more familiar with hard disks and if it was one I'd use it for another application and keep an eye on it but I'm not sure whether the same interpretation can be put on an SSD. I'd value any opinions. HFS250G32TND-3112A_FI5CN0492102ACK1P-20180329-2111 (sdq).txt Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 SSDs are much harder to assess based on SMART, I would use it for some time in a non critical mission and see if the reallocated sectors and reported uncorrected stop increasing. 1 Quote Link to comment
