Handling and preservation
Keep the medium in its protective case, away from dust, impact, moisture, heat and contamination. Preserve the label and write-protect state; avoid forcing it into a host. Make read-only images where practical and verify checksums before any reuse.
- Retain provenance, packaging and label photographs; document any physical wear, write-protect state, read errors or repair.
- For important data, make separate copies, record checksums and periodically test restoration. A single legacy medium is not a preservation plan.
Model and version notes
ORB 5.7 GB and the existing ORB 2.2 GB are separate capacity generations.
Product-family resemblance or mechanical fit alone does not guarantee interchange. Verify exact medium generation, host model, interface, firmware and software support.
