    I have a Crucial M4 128GB and these are some of the readings from CrystalDiskInfo: (values in HEX)

    Wear level count: 6
    Non 4k aligned access: 14D006800E5
    Factory Bad Block count: 61
    Ultra DMC CRC Error rate: 3

    Can you tell me if these numbers are normal?

    Without a doubt. I tested 5 of mine and got the same exact results except for the actual name of the SSD. What's wierd is that when I did one of them I had my IronKey Flash Drive plugged in. It is a very robust SLC based drive. It picked it up and said it was in good health until 2045!
