Once your PS225109 drive is healthy, optimize it:

  • Don't fill past 90%: Like all TLC/QLC drives, once the NAND is full, writes slow to <10 MB/s as the controller scavenges for empty blocks.
  • If your drive shows "0 bytes" or asks to format but fails, follow these steps.

    ⚠️ Warning: This will erase all data on the drive permanently.

    Simple answer: No, but it's legacy.
