I have a 2 year old crucial M4 (64GB) SSD which started acting weird (freezes, data loss). Speedfan says: fitness is 0% because of 30720 reallocated sectors.
Crucial support told me not to bother about reallocated sectors, as this is not important in case of SSDs, and to do power cycles, instead.
I did so, formatted the SSD and am now reinstalling everything...but I'm worried it will fail someday soon.
What are your experiences? Can a faulty SSD be "repaired" just by power cycling? Any opinions on the reallocated sector count?
It would be best if I could just RMA it and get a replacement...but crucial support doesn't seem to see the problem.
CrystalDiskInfo btw. says it's at 98% with 6680h run time.
