Hi David,
eBay seller acpsurplus has Western Digital WD2793s and some SAB2793s which
are a Siemens version according to the listing. He is a California based
seller and every device I have purchased from him has been genuine old
stock. I have no connections to acpsurplus, just a satisfied customer.
Cheers,
Ian.
