Hard Drive Serial Number Examples
The reason for this article is because a lot of us don't physically see our hard drives they are often remote in a datacenter etc and the actual serial number we see in SMART is not enough to check for some manufacturers.
A good example is our first one the Toshiba
=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
Device Model: TOSHIBA DT01ACA200
Serial Number: 33FMDW4AS
If you enter the serial in Toshiba's site above: https://myapps.taec.toshiba.com/myapps/admin/jsp/webrma/addRequest1NoLogin.jsp
You will get the following result:
| 33FMDW4AS | Warranty could not be determined for this Non-HDD serial number. If you have any questions you may contact Toshiba at 1-855-898-1905. |
That is because you are missing the "TZ5" at the end. See when you add the TZ5.
| 33FMDW4ASTZ5 | HDKPC09A0A01S | Out Of Warranty | Out of warranty. Exp Date: 2015/03/26 |
