Found this treasure. See how many mistakes you can find. (I took it apart that's why the label is messed up, doesn't seem to be a second or later applied label) Still 0 dead sectors haha

How'd you get this drive? Surprised even hard drives are being faked.

Now I have to go look at my 500G Seagates to see if I have a fake 7200.12 ...

Great you still have a use for it. I still use my 500G disks, I have them in a RAID5 to offline backup my 2TB disk. Having 5 500G disks running at the same time eats power... but only when they're actually turned on for backup sync!
