My old laptop died so I took the SSD from it in hope to use it as external drive. I wanted to just overwrite it with dd for security but I decided to go with f3 as that would also give me the opportunity to test the drive. Sadly, bad results came back

Yeah, barely used. Just the LBAs written/read doesn’t seem to make sense.

Any better ideas than paperweight?
I have tested it when it was new, it had no errors.

    I’ve used badblocks in the past to get an extra few years out of a failing drive in the past. But this was in the 64gb being a large drive days, and it only delayed problems
