found about this app recently and decided to install it. Not sure what this means but I'm worried because its the SSD my OS is installed on. (all my files are already backed up to backblaze)

EDIT: turns out its my old external hard drive with issues not my ssd. All good! thanks for the help!

It just tells you it had got some Bad sectors on your disk. In total 63 ( or at least if i calculated the raw values right ). But if i calculate the time you used it for a year or so and if that has already bad sectors is not a good sign the disk will survive for very long. ( and yes this is a HDD not a SSD )

I would personally not use it for any important stuff.
