Samsung Data Migration: Cloning my old SSD with Reallocated Sector Count and Reallocated Event Count to 870 EVO

Hey, everyone!

 

My old SSD (Mushkin) has a Reallocated Sector Count of 38 and Reallocated Event Count of 86 (confirmed with HD Tune Pro, HD Sentinel, and AIDA64 while CrystalDiskInfo says "all good"). That's why I bought a brand new Samsung 870 EVO 1TB. Inside the 870's box, I found a small booklet containing info about Samsung Data Migration and Samsung Magician. I didn't know that I can clone my old SSD to the new one with the data migration tool. I installed these 2 apps and I was about to start the process but I asked myself:

 

Will this process also clone the Reallocated Sector Count and Reallocated Event Count?

 

The Data Migration tool software has some limitations, one of them is regarding damaged disks. Can we say that Bad Sectors = Reallocated Sector Count/Reallocated Event Count?

Let me know what you think.

No, those are physical drive attributes.

No, reallocated should still be accessible as normal.
