Seagate Date Calculator for iPhone

In previous blog post I talked about seagate date code calculator. It seems to be useful tool for the people out there, and I decided to revamp it. It has better user interface, and I now created off-spin that works well on touch devices like iPhone.

Seagate date code

Last week my Seagate hard drive broke. It had weird date code on it. I figured that on the internet there has to be a place where someone posted how to decrypt this 5 digit number.

After a bit of search I have found PDF explaining it, but I noticed I could not find a on-line calculator. Given that calculation is not hard to do, but still not intuitive for human to calculate I wrote a little calc that solves that problem for myself and anyone who is wandering what the date is (this may be important to figure out if your drive is under warranty).

So, here is Seagate date code calculator.

Enjoy.
