This has got me concerned, wondering how do you tell it's old if the controller is replaced? Are there serials or dates on the other parts or just obvious wear?

For the ones I had, the corrosion of the metal and stained labels was the give away (looked like they had been out on an autoshop repair bench), but each part had its own label dates. HDD was way older date than the controller board.
