'K, so it's _NOT_covered_at_all_ by IBM/Hitachi? It's just covered as 
part of an Apple system?

Well, I guess . . . you guyz seem to have checked it out . . . 

B-b-b-b-b-but . . . the manufacture date and the warranty ending date are 
not typically smack dab on the same month. _Every_ IBM drive I've ever 
sent in for warranty replacement had the actual warranty expiration date 
several months after the manufacture date to allow for distribution 
channel time to the end user. (eg: manuf. date = Feb '00, warranty 
actually expires May '03)

Hal, what result did you get entering the SN and PN into this URL?  
<http://www.hgst.com/warranty/jsp/arma31.jsp> If the drive comes up as 
covered, how do you know the warranty ends this month? AFAIK there's no 
way to tell when the warranty actually expires unless you speak with a 
warranty service operator. Of course if the drive comes up as _not_ 
covered, NEVER MIND!  : -)

Sorry to be so pesky and persnickity, but if there are some sorts of 
exceptions to IBM/Hitachi's usual procedures I need to know (got alot of 
IBM drives!)
