"it says"?  Can you clarify what is this "it"?

Drive-level errors of "unreadable data" normally lead to errors that
appear in the kernel log and say scary things and "read sense" and
include hex numbers showing the actual bytes of the SATA command sent.

I don't expect such error messages to say anything about a "trash".
So maybe your errors occur elsewhere.
