If any of you do forensics works for the police, then you MAY be lucky to get a tour around the WD factory (if you are ever out in Asia).

there is still no harm in phoning them and asking if they do factory tours. Any of you that get the chance to go it is well worth it! One thing that surprised me beyond all other is the method they used (about 3 years ago) of how they mount the heads on drives - Nothing like what you would expect - I cant tell you exactly how as I had to sign a non disclosure agreement. But I was amazed
