I was going through my electronics class when I noticed a computer that was dropped off by some company, asked if I could take the system as I'd like it and was allowed. Brought it home, was riddled with spyware and was ridiculously slow. Some stupid tech had the 40GB drive as a 'data drive' with nothing on it while the main drive was a pitiful 2Gb drive in a PIII nonetheless! So I opened up the system to take the 40GB drive which was obviously installed at a later date, I saw that it wasn't even screwed into the drive cage! Excellent IT work there! But when I looked at the model, I recgonized it, it was a seagate barracuda and it startled me because it looked exactly like a replacement drive I got awhile back for my dell dimension 8200 I have. So I took the drive from the system I got and compared it to the dell replacement drive, 'lo and behold, they're the EXACT SAME DRIVE, aside from serial number of course!

Same capacity, same model number, same firmware revisions same everything, both OEM drives too! Question is, HTF did this system get an OEM drive and have it installed so improperly? 😕

Nonetheless I'm happy and confused at the same time! 😛
