Handling, service & preservation
- Record the SAS inquiry data, firmware and existing defect/health status before reuse. Enterprise format/sector options can vary by product code; verify logical block size on the drive rather than initializing it to discover.
- Photograph the full label, board marks, connectors, jumpers/carrier, and date/firmware codes before service; retain the exact model suffix with collection metadata.
- Never open a hard drive outside a qualified clean environment. Stop repeated power-on attempts if the unit clicks, drops offline, or develops read errors.
- Preserve source data by making independent copies and validating checksums; SMART/self-tests cannot guarantee reliability. Distinguish measured condition from manufacturer specifications.
Model-specific source
