I took this ssd plus out of storage for a project not requiring high reliability. I do want these answers. I no longer believe I shall find them from the ‘manufacturer’

And yes, I no longer purchase Sandisk magical thinking controller use. I now exclusively purchase the pro line of ssd from Samsung, and then only ‘sold by ships from amazon’.
