> Do the "Product of ..." texts printed on the drive labels differ?

The labels do differ in appearance, but they all say “Made in Thailand”.


> A recent article in German "c't Magazin" (ct.de) shows two rather different WD Blue with same model string WD20EZRZ-00Z5HB0:
> "Date: 03 OCT 2015 - Product of Thailand": drive with 2 platter.
> "Date: 12 OCT 2015 - Product of Malaysia": drive with 3 platter.

One drive having the 737 minute wait time says 03 May 2020
One drive having the 119 minute wait time says 07 Aug 2020
