I believe the hard-drives are identical too, although I've been able to spot some tiny differences on the labels - like, the last number of the device type is different (out of a long string of numbers). I am not certain if that difference means there are any real differences in the geometry. The disks look otherwise identical. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
