Since a while I am experiencing an error in one of my two RAID0 Samsung 950 Pro M.2 SSD's stating that the volume cannot be accessed. However I do not have any actual problems. Should I worry?
When I mark the drive as normal the error reappears after a while.
Functionality still seems okay.

I would be a little on the worried side myself. Drives just don't pop up errors for no reason. Did you properly over provision and set up a regular trim schedule? Judging by your drive sizes you have no over provisioning. When you initialize and create your partitions you should leave 10% of the total unallocated.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for looking into my question. It seems that there is 1 block with mediaerrors:
An IRST verify did not find any other errors but, since it is a RAID0 volume, this error cannot be repaired. I did a chkdsk repair but that did not clear the error either.
I then shrinked the volume by 10%. would that be OK for over provisioning?
Or should it have been done from the start?
Did you already get to installing the 960 Pro SSD's?
You should be able to shrink it and leave that space unallocated then run a trim on it. Windows should have set it up automatically since you dont defrag SSDs. Once you have the 10% reduction just go to the search on the task bar and type in defrag and it will pull up defrag/optimize. Then select the drive and click optimize and it will run the trim command.
