                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[So I would ignore other software that tests for SMART. SSD's are completely unlike hard drives and SMART reallocation data is irrelevent.

The fact you had a certify failure means you have unreliable hardware. Whether it is the enclosure or drives, you should figure out. But you know in advance that there is a problem, a disk, or SSD should never fail a certify.

Repeat a 3 pass certify and see if you get another error.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi!
I need help on some questions:
1)  Whether process of certification is harmful to ssd disks?
2) I have 4 identical ssd 1 TB of a disk, which I plan to use in RAID-0.
Verify test to all disk passed is successfuly.
When I carried out Certify test for all disks. And on one disk the test showed 2 mistakes.  

Some lines from log is lower.

Sep 16 00:32:38 - SoftRAID Application: Verifying the disk disk4, SN: 986080610040, SATA bus 0, id 6 (Thunderbolt).  All the sectors on this disk will be read to ensure that they are reliable. 

Sep 16 01:57:21 - SoftRAID Application: The verify disk command for disk disk4, SN: 986080610040, SATA bus 0, id 6 (Thunderbolt) completed successfully.

Sep 16 08:41:28 - SoftRAID Application: Certifying the disk disk4, SN: 986080610040, SATA bus 0, id 6 (Thunderbolt). with 3 passes and 15 minutes of random access testing.  During each pass, every sector on the disk is filled with a pattern.  Then the pattern is read back and verified.

Sep 16 10:10:04 - SoftRAID Application: The certify disk command for disk disk4, SN: 986080610040, SATA bus 0, id 6 (Thunderbolt) encountered a verify error (offset 9,948,889,088, i/o block size = 16,777,216).  Error during pass number = 1.  This disk should be replaced immediately.

Sep 16 17:45:56 - SoftRAID Application: The certify disk command for disk disk4, SN: 986080610040, SATA bus 0, id 6 (Thunderbolt) failed because this disk has unreliable sectors.  It should be replaced immediately (error number = 66).

Additional info.
Smart info for this disk is: Reallocated Sectors - 1, Offline scan wrong - 4, Reallocation count - 8 

These mistakes are critical? Can I use this ssd disk or is it necessary to replace it?

I thank for your help.]]></content:encoded>
