The file system will usually still be good with a few bad sectors because they have already been reallocated on the disk. Modern Linux file systems do this automatically. So yes, it is quite likely that a media channel launched file system check program would declare that the file system is fine, and on the other hand, the OS internal disk check will report the bad sectors even though they have already been reallocated, but also report that they have been reallocated if you know where to look, and because fsck runs at boot up anyway the file system is likely fine. In all honesty, however, it actually is fairly common for low-end SSDs to ship with already reallocated sectors on OEM Windows machines as they all have extra memory cells and the new Windows user would never know the difference anyway without add/on disk analysis peripheral software. Your post is neither a security issue nor a bug. Please move to the hardware section of the forum.
