Chinese manufactured Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Hello,
With all the talk about the Malaysian floods affecting hard drive supply- I found a 'Made in China' Seagate Barracuda at Future Shop. Is there any reason to think this will be a better drive because of this label. I didn't see a manufacture date on the package. Thanks. James.

Where they are made does not matter much just as long it is not 7200.11 which had firmware issues!

How do determine this? Where is the number? Can I read it on the packaging? Thanks. James.

It was in the name of the drive.

I'll check it out. Thanks again. James.

Maybe it's a knock-off.
