WD's data recovery plans web page has a stock photo of an old HDD. Does anyone recognise it?

The photo seems silly, given that the plans run for 2 or 3 years starting from shipment date. It would be hilarious if the drive wasn't even a WD model.

We also came across that photo recently and had a laugh about it - the fact that WD features a competitor's product on its own data recovery page :D
The one in the photo is a Seagate 7200.7 series drive (ST3120026AS, ST340014A).
