1. A manufacturing system for a data storage device, the manufacturing system comprising:

  • a non-networked manufacturing device configured for use during a manufacturing process of the data storage device, the non-networked manufacturing device configured to write manufacturing data into a data storage device reliability log in a memory of a data storage device as the data storage device moves through the non-networked manufacturing device during manufacturing of the data storage device, wherein the data storage device reliability log comprises the manufacturing data and a self-monitoring analysis and reporting technology (“

    SMART”

    ) log; and

    a networked manufacturing device configured for use during the manufacturing process of the data storage device, the networked manufacturing device configured to verify that the data storage device is manufactured correctly by reading the manufacturing data from the data storage device reliability log in the memory of the data storage device and configured to erase the manufacturing data from the data storage device reliability log without erasing the SMART log, as the data storage device moves through the networked manufacturing device during manufacturing of the data storage device.
