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?

    I think, once a block is marked bad it isn’t checked again. Your drive literally shrinks. And as the blocks go bad it is like a cascade. That drive has a limited life expectancy.

    Or not. My memory on this is spotty. Maybe bad blocks in my brain.
