My old laptop died so I took the SSD from it in hope to use it as external drive. I wanted to just overwrite it with dd for security but I decided to go with f3 as that would also give me the opportunity to test the drive. Sadly, bad results came back

Yeah, barely used. Just the LBAs written/read doesn’t seem to make sense.
Any better ideas than paperweight?
I have tested it when it was new, it had no errors.
I’d kinda trust it if it would detect the errors on its own, but now it’s just returning corrupt data, so I’d ditch it
