I received a PN 1DXAN5-570 on the retail box, and 1DXAP4-500 on the enclosure. Opened it up, got a ST4000DM000 drive. GRRRRR
I bought packs of 4, and the date on the outside of that box was 02-01-2013. Win8 labels. Last edited by pgjensen; 02-23-2013 at 09:19 AM.. |

I have 3 coming my way and would prefer the quieter, lower power 5900 rpm drives. If someone in the Portland, Oregon area would like to do an exchange (assuming I get the 7200 rpm drives and you get the 5900 drives) PM me. Seems most people would prefer the 7200 rpm drives, but I would prefer the 5900 rpm drives.

The DX in PN: 1DXAP$-500 does NOT mean the hard drive inside is a DX drive
Or are you going by the 'PN: 1DXAP4-500' printed on the label attached to the black plastic enclosure? The DX in PN: 1DXAP$-500 does NOT mean the hard drive inside is a DX drive. I say this because I have opened up two such enclosures. One had a 7200 rpm drive inside, the other a 5900 rpm drive. Thanks. |

I'd probably break the enclosure when trying to get it open anyway. |

I took my drive apart using an iSesamo today. No scratches or broken parts. I could put it back together without anyone being the wiser. I did a warranty check on the bare drive and Seagate says: Expiration 21-Dec-2015
I did a warranty check on the external and Seagate says: Expiration 21-Mar-2015 So by holding on to the external enclosure I get an extra 3 months of warranty service. Total warranty is 2 years 1 month from when I bought it. The part number on the drive inside is: 1CL160-570 It's a Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM drive. |
