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

I discovered a couple of discussions of the phenomenon, the upshot of which

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.
