Hi,
We have several i7-6700TE computer systems running CentOS 7.4. We are putting out Transcend 420K 512GB SSD under a read write SSD load. Sometimes we get smartd warnings on systems running our tests. I would like to know What would cause "524288 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors" to show in the SMART logs. This number is always the same:
