I have a handful of Falcon drives in the basement... As I recall most if not all of them are Apple branded.

I'm wondering how do you distinguish Falcons of Eagles
Don't tell me "Acelab said take two letters from the model and use our fancy table" 'cause they wrong

I've seen the model name embedded in FW modules. That ought to settle it, if you can view it . . .

Well, I stand corrected. Apple branded drives typically also carry an abbreviation of the family name with an A or S at the end (i.e. HAWKA, MERCA, etc.) These particular drives are labeled FALCA but I guess Apple just labeled them incorrectly, as the firmware reveals they are indeed Eagle. I've never seen it be incorrect before, so that's what I was going off of. I've also seen a few websites describing xxHBxx drives as Falcon, so I wonder where they all got the wrong info from?

Good luck

Interestingly enough I see that one of the aforementioned websites listing HB drives as Falcon has changed it to Eagle sometime in the last two days. :mrgreen:
