TEAMGROUP T253X2512G 512GB 2.5" SATA 3.0 Solid State Drive

The drive is failed and unsafe for normal use.

What the results show:

• F3 reports 0 usable capacity while the drive claims to be 512 GB. It cannot reliably store or retrieve data.
• SMART overall health: FAILED, with the explicit warning: “Drive failure expected in less than 24 hours.”
• 11 reallocated sectors, 11 pending sectors, and 1 uncorrectable sector indicate media/storage errors.
• The drive has about 4,988 power-on hours and 1,878 power cycles.
• The current SATA link is negotiating at 1.5 Gb/s instead of 6 Gb/s, but that is not the main problem.
• Because f3probe --destructive was used, any data that was on the drive should be considered erased or damaged.

The F3 result could be caused by a failed SSD controller/flash memory or potentially counterfeit/incorrect firmware, but the exact cause is less important: the drive has zero usable tested capacity.

• TEAM T253X2512G 512 GB SATA SSD – DEFECTIVE / FOR PARTS ONLY
• Drive is detected by the computer and reports a 512 GB capacity, but it fails testing. f3probe reports 0 bytes usable capacity, and SMART reports FAILED with reallocated, pending, and uncorrectable sectors. Not suitable for storing data or normal use. Sold strictly as defective, for repair, investigation, or parts. No warranty, no returns due to the known fault.
