Decode Intel ssd serial for manufacture date

[Shawn]

Any one know how to figure this out? I posted the same question at NBR in the SSD section...No answer yet.
I scored a used drive and I am curious about it's age...Intel says warranty is good until Jan,2016.

The 52 needed a size upgrade, The 52's drive will go into the 30, and the 30's drive will go into the 74......
The 74 has boot issues. I had put a 32gb Sandisk UATA in a OEM Dell 2.5 adapter in it. Sometimes it is a pain to boot.
The UATA 5000 SSD came from a Motion C5 where it worked great. The 74 doesn't seem to like it.

I found this one the Intel SSD forum:

Basic Information

What do the digits in each SSD product code designate?



The last two digits labeled "Ordering Information" refer to what comes in the box you've purchased and how many SSDs were shipped in the same box ie

C# drive shipped in a brown box

R# drive shipped in a retail box without a desktop cloning kit

K# drive shipped in a retail box with a desktop cloning kit

The “#” simply states how many SSDs were shipped out together

So it looks like you cannot find the manufacture date in the model number. That date should be on the label.

Hey friend,
Looking at a Intel box...unopened... I haven't a clue. Serial Number is Alpha characters QUZJRHFOG date of manufacture 08 FEB 2013....lots of threes though...MM#922973...Batch# CNCV32830E...Version# G67589-403.

This is a 335/180.

Good luck.

The model decoder is interesting. I am pretty certain the date is hidden in the serial number on the drive label.

I could not see any correlation either. The date may be coded in letters.

I could not find any info on serial numbers, but found the model number breakdown interesting. Have to keep looking I guess.
