I have heard of some people getting archive drives though so YMMV
You would be one of the few to have a 0004 drive. Have you opened the case?

No I won't be opening this one as I purchased it as a backup drive: I'd have been fine with an archive drive but was pleasantly surprised. If they go on sale again I'll buy a few more and crack this one open. Opening does violate the warranty btw.

Can you post the hd tune benchmark? I'd be interested to compare results.

Any Blue drive larger than 1TB is going to for sure be a relabeled Green.
