If you were lucky enough to a PS5 at launch (Nov 2020) you may have noticed that your 2 year warranty period is now over (quite a while ago)
If you were doubly lucky to buy a 2nd unit and you've been keeping it in the box all this time, powered off, on v1.00 FW in the hopes of a CFW sometime in the future you might want to think about getting it out soon.
TLC (and QLC) NAND Flash devices like the NVMe drive in the PS5 have a relatively short powered off retention span of ~5 years (depending on the temperature)
It might be an idea to get it out, power it on and leave it powered on for some time (24 hours or so) for it to do a background refresh and re-write itself.
Just an idea.
