SSD Cache Drive..looks like its failing Looking for opinions


Recommended Posts

I upgraded from 6.2 RC5 to 6.2 Stable yesterday.  Shortly after the upgrade I started getting notifications/warnings that I had reallocated sectors on my Samsung 850 EVO 500GB cache drive (formated BTRFS).  Shortly there after I started getting uncorrectable error count warnings...it got up to 41 of these errors and I have not gotten any more over the past 18 hours or so.  I have attached my smart report for this disk as well as my diagnostics.

 

I believe this is just a coincidence and that the drive just failed...but would like opinions for more experienced users.  I assume since the error report does not pass that I should purchase a new drive to keep my system up and running since Samsung does not offer an advanced RMA option to cross ship the drives.

 

If you have any other thoughts, I would love to hear them.

 

Thanks,

 

Dan
