I'm using Validrive in a VM. Linux Tumbleweed TW is the host and Win10 is the guest. I downloaded Validrive into Win10 and I'm using it on some of my USB drives. On some of the drives Validrive is reporting some yellow block write errors. Do write errors mean the drive is bad and not usable? Or something else? Do write errors mean bad blocks? Does the system know not to use these blocks?
[[
Write Error
During either of the two write operations – writing the random noise test data or replacing the drive's original data – the drive reported that it was unable to successfully perform the write. Since this prevents the validation of storage at that location, ValiDrive notes that fact in yellow.
]]
No read errors reported.
