Typically, such errors indicate a storage failure, not a filesystem problem.

I strongly suspect your media is broken or damaged and should not be used to
store important information.

The easiest way to test it would be to use badblocks with a single pass, using
the `-w     Use write-mode test` option.

The defaults for -b and -c are quite low, I'd suggest:

sudo badblocks -b 4096 -c 1000 -w -s -v /dev/sdX
