disk cloning failed to write bad sector

I got a new Samsung 970EVO NVMe M.2 SSD  and I have been trying to clone my system over to it. I have used softwares like Macrium Reflect and easeus but they all end up giving me a "failed to write bad sector"message.

I have an Asus UX501V Notebook and my installed SSD is a NVMe Samsung MZVP512.

I have tried using chkdsk in admin mode and ran a scan on my drive but it had no issues to report. I am not sure how thorough it is if I keep getting bad sector messages when trying to clone.

I wanted to know if it is possible to identify and fix the bad sectors, otherwise, I do not think my drive will be clonable. 

Can you help me?

    Read the following article from Macrium about imaging and bad sectors. If worst comes to worst there's the option to ignore bad sectors.

    You must run chkdsk so that it scans / fixes the whole disk. Type chkdsk /? for details.
