Absolutely. That drive has one of those new 'Sand Bearings'. Seagate engineers have discovered that random metal shavings make much better bearings. I just can't trust a drive if i can't hear it!

Thanks for the illumination. I guess the purpose of those platter separators is to try to keep all of the sand in the box??

More likely they will charge you $800 for an evaluation.....of course if you accept their quotation they will waive the evaluation fee.

Jono,
why did you even bother downloading those pictures to this forum? It should be under funny pictures of the drives in general forum. :lol:
