Offline uncorrectable sectors in SSDs being used for ZFS L2ARC?

I have two enterprise-grade SSDs that I've been using for L2ARC in an OpenZFS pool for a few years. Workflow during this time has been fairly heavy, with lots of reads and writes, serving up video to clients for video post-production.



Recently, got a couple of critical alerts about the L2ARC SSDs:



CRITICAL: Oct. 22, 2018, 6:12 p.m. - Device: /dev/da0 [SAT], 215869351264256 Offline uncorrectable sectors
CRITICAL: Oct. 22, 2018, 6:12 p.m. - Device: /dev/da1 [SAT], 174264003067904 Offline uncorrectable sectors



Obviously there's no risk of data loss, since these are just L2ARC, but is it time to just get them replaced?



Am I sacrificing performance? If not, is there a way to reset or ignore the bad sectors?



Using FreeNAS-11.1-U6.

          Those numbers are obviously bogus. Your SSD doesn't have that many sectors at all, let alone offline uncorrectable ones. Check for firmware updates for your SSD that will fix the problem. Otherwise, ignore it. If you're really paranoid, you could replace the drives, but in that case you should use different drives, not the same brand from the same manufacturer (because they obviously have faulty firmware).

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
