Well, at differences of 50%, precision is of no relevance anymore. Also, I already did look it up and it didn’t turn up any conclusive results. Just search hits from fdisk output of people who are partitioning the drive. So the only thing I can think of yet is to call Samsung’s expensive hotline. Hm... oh well, perhaps I could write an e-mail, because I’m too niggard and phonophobe to make a call. ^^ > If you don't want to open your box, you can usually > get the information from dmesg. I put the drive in myself after I bought it at http://www.alternate.de/html/product/Festplatten_2,5_Zoll_SATA/Samsung/HM500JI_500_GB/342736/?showTecData=true But they don’t show much information either. :-/ I don’t suppose it’s written on the disk’s label? I don’t wanna loosen those screws too often, because the windings tend to wear out quickly. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' I guess irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.
