Just got mine today. I have yet to plug it in, but the label lists it as a 650 GB, 7200.10. I get my enclosure tomorrow. I'll try to answer any question you all have.

I bought a Galaxy external enclosure (plays iso files as dvds, as well as most audio formats). I need the pata version. This was a perfect find for me.

I got it up and running. I'm using a metal gear case. It's a bit loud, but runs cool. 605 GB confirmed. Came Fat32. About what you'd expect.

I'm doing the same thing tonight. I was surprised it already came formatted.

I have only formatted it then put it away until its enclosure arrives.. I will let you know what I think once I have formed an opinion.. that said, I did not think it seemed overly loud.. but am not super sensitive to hard drive noise.

So, what firmware would you put on this to unlock the extra HD space?

Seatools DOS version can reset the drive size on seagate drives. Once upon a time, there were some IBM drives (if I recall correctly) that were unlocked in size by simply changing their drive size.
Could some brave soul try this out and report back the results?
