The SSDs included with iKOOLCORE products are all brand new and have never been powered on (0 power-on count). Some of these SSDs were transported by suppliers in their original packaging and are delivered to iKOOLCORE in this state. Upon receiving the product, customers have the option to use DiskGenius to check the power-on count and read/write activity. Typically, the power-on count is in single digits, and there is minimal read/write activity. These minimal power-on instances and read/write activities occur as part of the final product testing before shipment. We kindly ask for your understanding and consideration of this information.
