Here's an odd one for y'all...My Mac Mini (Mid-2010) had #Debian13 & #LMDE installed & was showing bad sectors on it's SSD.

@geekymalcolm That's a headscratcher.

@capergrrl So @Toxic_Flange said to me:
SSDs /NVMEs are actually bigger than they report to account for bad or failed “sectors”. also there’s a reason why you can over allocate stuff (i think that’s the term) to account for wear and tear of some sectors.
So a bad sector is recognized as marked as bad and remapped to another sector within its hardware.

@geekymalcolm @Toxic_Flange Ya I think I saw that earlier. I just can't easily look at the chat while I work.
