Unfortunatly, an USB key failed with the logs on it. But when I looked
at it, it was the same type of errors.

I did two tests which were all successful :
badblocks -nvs /dev/sda -> no bad blocks
smartctl -H /dev/sda -> PASSED
My guess is that SSD disk works properly. At least, it works as long as
I don't try to encrypt it (I use the disk on a daily basis).
What is the command the installer is using to shred the partion or the
disk?
Cheers,
