I'd be curious what the output is of the f3probe tool used in the article. I assume you have a 128GB module with the missing bits used as reserve for when blocks fail.

I'm fine with that if it's sold as a 124GB drive, not 128GB. I like to buy Intel drives because they'll sell you a 480GB drive and under the hood it's a 512GB module with tons of reserve.



Sure, if they had sold it as a 123GB drive i'd be perfectly OK with it.

On macOS, f3probe isn't available, i'll have to hook it up to a Linux PC.
