Indeed   Creation Time : Mon Jul 26 21:49:51 2010
means data was migrated to those disks, which were assembled 2010 - data
dates back to 2002. Seagate is definitely older than 2010.

Anyway, thanks for the snip - useful!

to both drives? It would be nice, though I decided already to replace
2x1G+2x0.5G for 2x2G - wife blessed the budget :)
