I have seen a lot of Seagate drives, but never with a sticker like below.

Anyway, I thought some of you would be interested.

There is reference to FNC2 here:

Anyone know how to extract the document properly?

I clicked on the "current page" up top in the box and got a paged doc..
looks like you need an acc on baidu to d/l it, and there are some crazy download credits involved..

it is only 48 pages.. I have screenshotted many times more than that for decent info

This is a hard drive, which was repaired at the factory.
Some of the repaired 3-inch seagate hdds have a similar sticker with a green edging.

Yes I've seen a couple like this, and even a few where the sticker was directly over the original one. These are refurbished nightmares. If it needs a headswap, quote high (really high) because you may waste a ton of time and still never find heads that work. No way to know what parts they refurbished with.

It would be interesting to get a list of what the codes are in relation to the "Failure:" field
