How to interpret Seagate Hard Disk Date Code

#1 Post by RealBlackStuff » Mon Jul 05, 2010 7:59 am

Found this handy webpage to calculate the real date from the cryptic Seagate HD Date code.
http://www.bugaco.com/calculators/seagate_date_code.php

Example: Seagate Date: 07441 corresponds to 2007 April 28th

Seagate date code calculator is web application that calculates gregorian date based on Seagate date code on your hard drive.
Calculator will help you determine age of the drive, and if it is still under warranty.

Date Code Shape: YYWD or YYWWD
* YY: fiscal year, beginning on the 1st Saturday of July YY-1
* W[1-9] or WW[10-52]: fiscal weeks from 1st Saturday of July YY-1
* D: days from the beginning of week WW (weeks run from Saturday to Friday)
