Do they bear any other indication, like engravings or stickers? If not, I would, in turn, plug each one in, read the serial number from its symlink, and write on it with a marker. While doing that, you could also run smartctl.So, two stickers have one number, two stickers have another number, and one sticker has a third number? Or, three stickers have one number, one sticker has another number, and the last stick has a third number?
5 ssd's3 unique numbers on those 5 stickerss the same numbers you can see above. 2 drives with the same sticker, 2 more drive that have identical sticks and one with a different sticker. I am inclined to think the numbers are based on production batches, and not unique as there may be 500 in each batch.
