Most major tools will remove the DCO in order to fully image a hard drive, using the DEVICE_CONFIGURATION_RESET command. This permanently alters the disk, unlike with the host protected area (HPA), which can be temporarily removed for a power cycle. [1]
Internal hard drive defect management is a system present in hard drives for handling of bad sectors.The systems are generally proprietary and vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but typically consist of a "P" (for "permanent" or "primary") list of bad sectors detected in the manufacturing stage and a "G" (for "growth") list of bad sectors that crop up after manufacturing.

Also, while earlier versions of the technology only monitored hard drive activity for data that was retrieved by the operating system, this latest S.M.A.R.T. tests all data and all sectors of a drive by using "off-line data collection" to confirm the drive's health during periods of inactivity.
The two new models are smaller than the original PS5, have 1 TB of internal storage and replaces the front USB-A port with another USB-C port (albeit with USB 2.0 instead of USB 3.1 Gen 2). The drive-less Digital Edition's cost was increased by US$50. A disc drive kit can be purchased for US$79 and installed onto the Digital Edition, making it ...
The new PS5 is 30% smaller and 20% lighter, and digital edition buyers can upgrade. ... notably includes a detachable disc drive. The new slim PS5 looks fairly similar to the old PS5, but seems to ...
Disk overwriting programs that cannot access the entire hard drive, including hidden/locked areas like the host protected area (HPA), device configuration overlay (DCO), and remapped sectors, perform an incomplete erasure, leaving some of the data intact. By accessing the entire hard drive, data erasure eliminates the risk of data remanence.

Late KSM-440ACM drives had the sled replaced with a die-cast one with hard nylon inserts in order to address the issue. The original hardware design included dual-ported VRAM as graphics memory, but due to a shortage in parts, Sony redesigned the GPU to use SGRAM instead (which could simulate dual-porting to some extent by using two banks).
