In the past when I have dealt with recovering Excelstor drives, they have all been hacked (ok, "remanufactured" IBM / Hitachi drives.
Just got one in yesterday that appears to be an original brand.
Model is CT210, 10GB. The PTLS2271 chip has blown / burnt.

Can anyone confirm this is indeed Excelstor's own drive, or is it something else remanufactured? The logic board does not look in the slightest bit familiar to me.

Thanks
