The Seagate Momentus 5400.4

The Seagate Momentus 5400.4 hard drive looks like any other 2.5" notebook hard drive, with a label on the top plate and an uncovered PCB on the underside.

The label has a lot of important information, like the hard drive model, capacity and serial number. There are also interesting details like its date and place of manufacture. This particular drive was manufactured in China in 2008. The underside is totally bare of any surface-mounted components. They are all located on the reverse side of the PCB.
