OWC's site says the Extreme Pro 6Gs have a 5 year warranty, so the OP's 2 year old disks should still be supported by them. The short of it, the only valid response given OWC's apparent lack of a SSD health tool, would be to get the raw smart data from the disk and contact OWC. If it's a constant rate happening now, then the OP likely needs to replace the disk, however, if they happened 2 years ago and isn't changing now, it could just have been a poor area of flash that got worked around and everything is otherwise fine.

Moreover, the rate the reallocations are accruing also could shed light on whether the issue is the ongoing degradation or a one off issue with the flash. 121 Reallocated sectors means the disk should already be dead (based on their Kingston drives) or has several 1000 more to go before it fails. If we use the results of Tech Reports recent SSD endurance tests as a benchmark. Without knowing more about the disk's uses, hosts writes, and the rate it's changing it's hard to draw any kind of conclusion about the number. Something similar can be said about the reallocated sector count. That alone would call whether it can properly interpret the SMART data from the SSD into question for me. Specifically the reported 'available sectors' number makes no sense in the context of an SSD, and I don't see where Disk Warrior is getting the data from based on the SMART data I've seen from SSDs.

I've used DiskWarrior for perhaps 15 years and trust it implicitly.Д®xcept the data being reported doesn't make a lot of sense, and to me indicates that Disk Warrior doesn't understand how to properly interpret the SMART data form the SSD.

If you're not afraid to crack the case (I was) then I'd suggest dumping the drive you were warned about, or else live with it and regular backups and be willing to simply run your iMac from an external drive trust me, doing so is no big deal (aside from being slower than your SSDs).

I cracked the case in 2013 when the computer was 4 years old, replacing the old 5400RPM drive with 2 x SSDs - a 240Gb boot drive and a 960Gb data drive, with externals for bulk storage and backups. Sure, I could have spent $$ to have someone crack open the case and replace the internal drive, but I decided that was too costly for such an old machine. And for the next nine months or so I simply used an external clone as my boot drive (and made sure to clone it regularly to a backup) until I got a new replacement refurb from Apple's online store. So I launched my clone, wiped the internal drive (because I didn't want my files still in it if I wanted to trash the machine or sell it as-is on ebbay).

In 2007 I bought one of the first aluminum 24' iMacs and around 4 years later the internal drive started to have serious problems. You're in nearly the same situation I was in a few years ago. Given that your iMac is around 4 years old I wouldn't be surprised if the HD might have issues.

DiskWarrior warnings should be taken seriously.
