Current Pending Sector Emails

[windsword]

I keep getting this email from my server, have ran multiple long tests using smartmontools passes every time, have switched out 4 SSD drives now. 2 drives actually did not pass the SMART test one that was in for a while and one that was a brand new replacement, now on 4th drive (ALL SSD) and i keep getting this email and always passes SMART tests. I just don't know what to do anymore, i get two emails a day at least with this. Looking at doing a 5th swap. thought maybe a corrupt system or something, so rebuilt the entire OS from start to finish trying not to use any backup files except for WordPress sites. Multiple scans with malware scanners with nothing to find except false positives. I am kind of a novice at linux but not an idiot but don't mind being proved wrong if someone can help me see the obvious, thanks.
