You would be one of the few to have a 0004 drive. Have you opened the case?Cocopuffs43421 wrote: ↑ This is the drive model # per HWinfo ST8000DM0004.
I have heard of some people getting archive drives though so YMMV

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.Cocopuffs43421 wrote: ↑ 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.
