.SYNOPSIS
Check the local computer for HPE and Dell SSD time bombs.

.DESCRIPTION
In November 2019, HPE announced that some of its SAS SSD's had firmware bug that
would cause the SSD to brick itself after being powered on for exactly 32,768
hours.

Later, in March 2020, HPE and Dell both announced that some of their SAS SSD's
made by SanDisk and Western Digital contained another time bomb in the firmware
where the device would brick itself after being powered on for exactly 40,000
hours.

This script detects if the local computer has one of these flawed SSD's, and if
so, it checks to make sure the corrected firmware has been installed.

.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> .\Find-SSDTimeBombs.ps1

This example checks the local computer for these bad SSD's and checks their
firmware versions.  No output means that everything is good.

.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> .\Find-SSDTimeBombs.ps1 -Verbose
VERBOSE: Found an HPE FOO1234 that has been patched against the 32,768 hours bug.  No action is required.
VERBOSE: Found an HPE FOO5678 that has been patched against the 40,000 hours bug.  No action is required.

Information about patched SSD's is written to the verbose stream.

.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> .\Find-SSDTimeBombs.ps1 -Verbose -Debug
DEBUG: Found a Seagate FOO90AB that is not affected by either bug.

Information about all disks in the system is written to the debug stream.
You can use both -Debug and -Verbose.

.INPUTS
This script does not take input.

.OUTPUTS
[System.Object[]]
Zero or more objects representing SSD's with faulty firmware.
