Mac, you’re probably right in that the drive is a Seagate. I just reported what was on the label and the fact I bought by warranty and not name brand. I’ve used this philosophy for years now and I’ve had excellent using warranty times as my main criteria when purchasing hard drives.

Lawrie, I know the CDs don’t last as long as advertised but thanx for bringing that up. I doubt very much there will be a CD player 200 years from now anyway! I have lost data in as little as two months using cheap CDs for archival purposes. So now I only used the archival gold CDs, burning at a very slow rate then verify said burn.
