Preservation & health notes
- Record label/model, serial, firmware, SMART attributes, host/controller, and a read-only health snapshot before changing firmware or configuration.
- Keep verified backups and periodically test stored copies. SSD health indicators and rated TBW are not guarantees of data retention or remaining life.
- Avoid powering or updating a drive with damaged connectors, liquid/corrosion exposure, or unexplained identity/revision differences until assessed; preserve the original labels and firmware state.
- Use the manufacturer's exact-model instructions for firmware, secure erase, encryption, and diagnostic utilities; availability may end when a product is discontinued.
