    Like the title says, How do you decode an Intel SSD (320) to find the manufacture date?
    I don't have the drive here. I need to accomplish this with the numbers on the label.

    Thanks

    I don't think you can with the serial number. My Intel has a sticker with the manufacture date on it, well at least month/year.

    No date listed on the label that I can find.

    Based on the firmware shipped with the drive; it is at least from August 2011.

    Does that help at all?

    Sorry, that's all I got. ;)

    Maybe you can try on an Intel forum?

    Register it on Intel.com and it should tell you manufacture date.

    Intel does not register SSD's
