    NO  The first digit is the form factor for Seagate Drives.  a 3 is a 
3.5" internal HD.
    The last character should be a letter,  A = ATA 100;  N = narrow SCSI,
    LW = wide ultra SCSI.

    first character = 1  =>   2.5" ?  1.8" ?  internal Hdrive.

    leader should be  STxxxx   not SPxxxx.

    The entire label string is invalid because Seagate never built any 
2.5 or 1.8"
    narrow SCSI  drives as far as I know....
