When was my old seagate drive manufactured
I recently had my 1TB hard drive (of which was +750GB full) die on me last weekend, after only 12 months of use. I decided to therefore go through all my old hard drives, that I had copied everything from originally, to see what data might have been left on them. I needed to know when I bought them though, and looking at the label on the drives showned something called a ‘Date Code’ for which there was a 5 digit number?
Anyway, the number is calculated on the financial year, then week number of that year, and the day. It’s all explained on this page, along with a handy date code to real date calculator: Seagate date code.
