I'm running the scanner on my server that's running WHS 2011. Every night I get an email about how one of my drives has 6 unstable sectors, and another drive has 132096 unstable sectors. One minute later, I get another email that only says I have one drive with 6 unstable sectors. If I log into the server and look at the dashboard it shows the latter drive has not been scanned.
This has been happening every day for the better part of two weeks. Last night it happened 3 times in 3 hours.
The drive that has 132096 unstable sectors (apparently for only a minute at a time) is a brand new SSD that I installed ~2 or so weeks ago. The server itself is running fine, no noticeable issues.
Today I noticed that I must have disabled scanning or something like that at some point because the "Start/stop automatically" button in the dashboard wasn't pushed. So I pushed it, and it immediately starts scanning the SSD and an external drive that it hadn't previously finished. About halfway through the scan I get another automated email about the 2 drives with unstable sectors (identical to all the previous ones), and 2 minutes later another email about the one drive with 6 unstable sectors only.
In the dashboard the SSD now shows as Healthy, and unstable sectors isn't even a category in the SMART details for it. Another odd thing I just noticed is that it reports its temp in one of the SMART categories on the same detail window, but reads as 0 both at the top of said window, and in the dashboard.

Any ideas on what's going on here?
