Contrast this to earlier this year, when I turned on a PC of a work colleague who left a few years prior. The main filesystem contents of the SSD were fine, but until it occurred to me to stop and run fstrim, badblocks was reporting loads of unrecoverable errors. After running fstrim, no more bad blocks. So, that means the failed blocks probably hadn't been written since the factory. I forget the manufacture date of the drive, but it was definitely made < 4 years prior. Micron-branded, so not a junk consumer model (Crucial is their consumer brand, while they use Micron branding to sell into professional & enterprise markets). I think it was one of the first TLC drives.

I like how you used to be able to get real specs on Intel SSDs. I guess that ended a few years ago, perhaps when Intel's marketing organization got fully into the disinformation business and stopped acting like a true engineering company.
