[SOLVED] How to Check Manufacturing Date on 850 PRO/EVO?

[Mr.Vegas]

I have two Samsung 850PRO 1TB SSD, they all made in Korea and on the back labels there is no made date.
I have one made in China and it has made on date.
I also have a two 2TB 850 EVO SSDs, made in china and they also dont have made in date.

Any ideas?

Warranty and date of manufacture are tied to the serial. You can authenticate that with Samsung Magician or through Samsung support.

Manufacture date is sort of irrelevant.
Check the warranty status with Samsung.

As a general rule with any electronic device, you can gauge the manufacture date by the YYWW or YWW (Year/Week) date codes on the ICs.

If you can tell us the markings on the controller, NAND, and SDRAM, we could probably give you a reasonably close estimate of the manufacture date of the SSD.

Here are two reviews with photos of the PCB:

Samsung 850 Pro SSD Review – Showing Off With 3D V-NAND - The SSD Review

Some time ago, Samsung introduced their 3D V-NAND (vertical NAND) to the world and NAND flash memory

The date codes on the SDRAM, NAND and controller are 416, 419 and 1419, respectively. That's weeks 16 and 19 of 2014.
