Resolved against manufacturer compatibility lists we read and dated, capped at 4. Vendor-listed means the manufacturer names this exact part number; fit-verified is our own check of form factor, interface and recording technology against a published requirement. Neither is a guess, and a drive the registry cannot resolve shows nothing here rather than a maybe. How compatibility actually works
