Age-related handling & preservation
- Before use, record the label, serial, firmware, SMART health attributes, host/controller and a read-only data/health snapshot; keep verified backups.
- Peak transfer rates and historical endurance ratings do not guarantee remaining life, powered-off retention or recovery after controller failure. Inspect for corrosion, damaged connectors and prior repair.
- Firmware utilities, manuals, warranty coverage and host drivers may be discontinued. Do not update, secure-erase or cross-flash until the full part number/revision and a verified backup are established.
- Check OS TRIM/SMART support directly; bridge, RAID, driver and BIOS behavior can block or alter these features.
