Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for obfuscating the physical security ID (PSID) on a data storage drive label are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a device disposed within a chassis, where the device includes a label coupled thereto comprising: a numeric or alphanumeric portion; and a tamper evident portion that at least partially covers the numeric or alphanumeric portion. In another embodiment, a method includes obtaining an item associated with a data storage drive comprising a representation of a PSID of the data storage drive; and applying a tamper evident seal to the item to cover at least a portion of the representation of the PSID. In another embodiment, a data storage drive includes a first label, where the first label indicates a PSID associated with the data storage device; and a second tamper evident seal at least partially covering the PSID.
