I’ve been running into issues with my SSD, mainly being unable to make a shadow copy of it (using Veeam Agent).

Just noticed that when Veeam fails, I get a bunch of errors in Windows event log saying : \Device\Harddisk4\DR4 has a bad block

But earlier, I figured bad blocks might be the issue and already ran a full chkdsk /f /r /x on the disk, but it didn’t find any bad block.

Is there another way to find these bad blocks?

    Had a similar issue with Veeam agent reporting bad sectors on my laptops SSD. Was using an XPG 1TB GAMMIX S70 Blade at the time. Solved it by using Macrium Reflect to create an image, while ignoring bad sectors (On the menu select Other tasks > Edit defaults and Settings > Advanced Settings >Advanced Backup Settings >Select Ignore bad sectors > Click OK) . Then I flashed that image to another SSD and used that to replace the S70.

      I’m not sure I should replace it since it might just be a couple sectors that need to be marked as unusable and then the disk would be fine. But I can’t get chkdsk to find them for some reason.
