hi there guys,

I wonder if I could have some help; over the past week or so my pc has been having a few problems (odd times games freezing). When I started looking through the Windows event viewer, I noticed quite a lot of errors from the disk, ie. bad blocks;

After looking at SMART info, I see this;

When looking at the reallocated block count, it seems to be 51 (when converted into base 10). I used to think seeing anything there with a normal HDD would mean it would need replacing? Although being a ssd I didnt think they went down as often.

Hopefully someone out there understands the SMART info better and could tell me if the drive is failing. Im a bit confused as Crystal Info is saying the drive is 100% good?

I do hope its not the driving dying as its not that old, and expensive to replace.
 
First thing I would do is try another data cable and sata port as it could be that causing the issues.

Is the drive causing you any issues?
 
hi there, well Windows seems pretty slow to start-up now - 15/20 seconds. A few odd times in BF1 I had the game freeze (I thought it was the game). It seems to tie-up with Windows event log, as it lists bad block error at the same time as BF1 freezing up.

I could try swapping the cables/port, although I thought the SMART info was saying wrong with the drive itself (ie. bad blocks)? Would a cable/port cause such an issue? The drive has been in the system for around 2 years without any problems, just recently its been misbehaving.

[Update] The drive has gotten so bad that Windows doesnt load; https://www.facebook.com/roguey.co.uk/photos/pcb.1670385796307192/1670381012974337/?type=3&theater
