    yeahhh if its in a NAS with redundancy, replace the drive and let the array rebuild, redundancy isnt a backup, but it does give u time.

    for SSDs, Percentage Used is wear, not damage. media and Data Integrity Errors on NVMe, on the other hand, mean data couldnt be read correctly and deserves serious attention.

    Accepted solution

    ok so on Linux or with smartmontools on Windows, run:

    smartctl -a /dev/sda
smartctl -t long /dev/sda

    Check teh result later with smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda.
