Migration Method: Use Industrial Grade data migration tools (such as Clonezilla), or migrate via the "Partition Clone" function.
It is recommended to upgrade in the following situations:
Significant decrease in read/write speed (e.g., the original speed drops from 300MB/s to below 100MB/s);
Frequent occurrence of "Bad Block Warning" (detected via S.M.A.R.T tools);
Insufficient storage capacity (unable to meet the requirements of the device's new features);
After upgrading the device (e.g., CPU or memory upgrade), the hard drive becomes a performance bottleneck.

Four core parameters need to be matched:
Interface Type (SATA/mSATA/M.2 NVMe);
Physical Dimensions (e.g., 2.5-inch, M.2 2280);
Operating Temperature Range (Ensure that the new hard drive covers the actual operating temperature of the device);
Protocol Version (e.g., SATA III, NVMe 1.4), to avoid performance limitations caused by protocol incompatibility.

No modification is required in most cases, but please note the following:
If the BIOS version of the device is outdated (e.g., before 2010), please confirm whether it supports "AHCI Mode" (for SATA hard drives) or "NVMe Protocol" (for NVMe hard drives). If not supported, the BIOS needs to be upgraded;
The BIOS of some industrial devices has a "Hardware Whitelist". Please contact the manufacturer in advance to confirm compatibility, or provide the device model for the manufacturer to assist with testing.
