This is just weird.
I still have difficulties to believe that any disk manufacturer would
hand out disks with colliding serial numbers. I googled for this
phenomenon, but except two mails of Gene nothing similar popped up.
I discovered a couple of discussions of the phenomenon, the upshot of which
were:
1) That's what you get when you purchase cheap SSDs.

2) SSDs belonging to the same software RAID show identical serial numbers
in software, but these numbers don't match the serial numbers printed on the
SSDs themselves.
But the drives in question are not yet and never have been in a raid
just plugged in awaiting my putting them to work.

But you said *similar*. As Gene's threads have too many movable parts
for me to follow, on that point I couldn't say.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
