I have a nearly new T440s with Lenovo-installed SSD - in scanning the event log this morning I found 20 events (all posted yesterday at the same time) that said:
The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block.
I'm not sure how much to panic.
Per Device manager this drive was mfg. by Samsung and lists the ID string:
device SCSI\Disk&Ven_SAMSUNG&Prod_MZ7TE512HMHP-000\4&90e12bd&0&000000
From some earlier poking around that I did, although the drive is mfg. by Samsung the Samsung SSD managment tool: The latest version of the "Samsung Magician" - V4.4 does not recognize the drive ....
(which is a Samsung PM851 - The tool does not SAY it supports the PM851 only the PM850 drives… not sure if this is the issue or not…)

I can't find any similar tool for SSD maintenance / managment on the Lenovo website :-(
(just firmware updater...)
SMART Status says:
"Uncorrectable Error Count" and ECC Error rate are both in "FAIL" status
I'll likely open a support ticket unless one of the group here has a good suggestion?
Any thoughts appreciated!
