The drive in question is a Samsung 500 GB Samsung EVO 850. Samsung Magician says the drive is good. There have been 354 TB written. I believe the drive is at least 8 years old.

Lately HD Sentinel has been reporting consistent sectors being reallocated. For the month of October 80 sectors were reallocated for a total of 145 that have been reallocated.

(Sorry about the line breaks creating the extra space. I am not sure how to get rid of that.)

Here is a brief history from the log.
