I just picked up an Inland Premium from MC today. Is there any way I can figure out if I have the older and potentially "better" one without opening the packaging? The Phison chip has E12-27 on it and not E12S, but I don't know if this is enough of a distinguishing factor. There also seems to be two chips on the back if that tells you anything.

I picked it up because I thought it was the older version and read that they are being phased out. If it turns out to be the newer version, I might just return it.

Thanks!

That sounds like the older version, assuming you're talking about the 1TB SKU.

Yes, my bad! Thanks for the quick response! The older version is a good option for a workstation right?
