Hmm. Scanner checks by disk, not by volume, so I suspect an old trick where you split the drive into multiple partitions with the bad sectors in unallocated space won't work: Disk: |<- volume 1 -> <- unallocated space containing 8 bad sectors -> <- volume 2 ->| Only other option I can think of is telling Scanner to NOT scan the surface of that disk automatically (in Scanner GUI, click that disk, click "Disk settings" (has the three green horizontal bars next to it), tick "Never scan surface automatically", click Save) then expand the disk's entry so you can click on Edit blocks and select "Mark all Unreadable blocks Unchecked". Scanner should then still alert on any new SMART errors but it'll be up to you to remember to manually scan that disk from time to time.

2 questions. 1. Can I specify to keep the most recent files in the SSD cache for faster reads, while also duplicating them to archive disks during the nightly schedule? Essentially files would be duplicated at night during down time, and also files wouldn't be deleted from the SSD cache. However the cache would operate on a first in/last out algorithm, so that the most recent files would be kept on the cache for faster access? once the oldest file is to be replaced by the newest file, it would just get deleted from the cache since it would have been placed on the archive disk. 2. can I specify some folders to always be on the SSD cache? for instance my Plex database would be great to have permanently in the SSD cache. I have no need to duplicate this database, as it can always be rebuilt easily. Thanks!

thank you, clear and concise. Re #1, seems like it shouldn't be too hard to implement, would be very powerful feature.
