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! 😛
 
A friend gave me a Western Digital 120 gig drive and it is EXACTLY like the 3 other WD 120 drives I have, except the serial number of course. What are the odds?

No I'm taking a computers class which happens to be in my former electronics class room (the guy teaches multiple classes in one room), only taking computers because I need credits... I took electronics back when I was a freshman... Again, why is this not believable to you?

Well you probably bought the other three drives all at once so that isn't very special. But the drive I got was an unusual drive because it's an OEM model that appears to only go through OEM channels opposed to that newegg crap where it's magically OEM yet you don't have to buy anything else with it.. (Don't understand it at the very minimum)

So yeah, I enjoy fecal matter..
 
Why do you need to tell us these things? Such a fvcking time waster. It's not even interesting or potentially funny. Great, two HDs are the same model. Chances are quite high because Seagate are a large company a shift sh!t-loads of drives.

Just stop posting crap for attention. Wait until you have something genuinely interesting or informative (perhaps something you'd say to a girl if you ever met one) then say it.

It's interesting because they're both OEM drives, how likely is that for a system to be upgraded (unprofessionaly mind you) with an OEM drive of the same model, firmware etc. and for me to find it?

There are many more HDD models, revisions etc. on the market than car colors and models combined...

I would hate to hang out with you because it seems you are possibly the most uninteresting and dull person I have ever encountered.

Do you have a worm farm?
