I have tried cloning my HDD to my SDD multiple times with different software both Acronis and Macrium Reflect and they get bad pipe errors halfway through the cloning

 

Also because of failed clones will repeatedly reformatting a  SDD damage even when it is brand new and only has a few gigabytes?

There are no bad pipe errors if there are can you put a screenshot , there are only 'unable to read sector ' , atleast with acronis that i use everyday

For macrium I got bad pipe errors and with Acronis I get unable to read sectors maybe there the same problems but with different wording.

There is a problem with your source hardisk asumming your SSD is new , so the only choice is to click 'ignore all sector erros' in order to clone the hardisk

Should i run CHKDSK on my HDD or would there be any problems on my SSD if I ignore sector errors and would this repeated formatting be bad for my currently new and mostly unused SSD?

I ran CHKDSK on the source HDD and it detected no errors so I guess it is alright to ignore the sector errors 

 

And I would like answer if I have ruined my new SSD. Have I ruined my SDD from reformatting multiple times from the failed clones?
