Will my SSD automatically remap/avoid a PHYSICAL bad sector?
Windows 10 20H2 19042.844, Crucial P1 500GB NVME (512MB DRAM cache)
I finally tracked down the cause of my BSODs to a bad block, according to event viewer: "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block" (event ID 7). I have also run the Victoria surface test, which identified a 4GB section that is either logically or physically defective. I also ran chkdsk over 3 times, with varying commands like /r, /f/ and /b. It detected 0 bad sectors and said everything was fine, which indicates to me that it's a physical defect since chkdsk only fixes logical errors.
But I've also heard that once Windows detects a bad sector (which it has done, despite what happened in chkdsk), it will stop reading/writing to it and remap to overprovision. However, the errors keep popping up hundreds of times a day, so I'm not sure if the automatic marking/remap has happened?
