==== 🧪 Burn-In Checklist (Optional but Recommended) ====

For each drive (D01–D22):

* [ ] SMART extended test  
  * [ ] Write/verify test  
  * [ ] Check power-on hours  
  * [ ] Check wear level  
  * [ ] Confirm firmware  
  * [ ] Confirm TrueNAS recognizes it  
  * [ ] Assign to correct vdev  
  * [ ] Update this page

==== 📝 Replacement Procedure ====

1. Identify failing drive from TrueNAS alert   2. Locate drive in this table   3. Check physical tray for that ID   4. Power down host   5. Remove SSD from its tray / stack   6. Insert replacement drive and label it   7. Update wiki entry   8. Online replace the disk in TrueNAS   9. Verify resilver   10. Mark task completed
