Handling, service & preservation
- Follow enclosure hot-swap and ESD procedures; preserve carrier, label, and firmware/security metadata. Record actual sector format and negotiated link from the host rather than assuming it from series name.
- Before service, photograph the label, connectors, board markings, firmware/model identity, and installed carrier; note condition and any prior repair.
- Never open a hard disk outside a qualified clean environment. Mechanical shocks, contamination, and uncontrolled power cycling can worsen failure.
- For preservation, make independent verified copies and record checksums and read errors; SMART or self-test results are useful evidence but do not guarantee future reliability.
