A nice surprise for the buyer of a Western Digital hard drive 500 GB Scoprio Blue: opening the box he discovered a 640 GB model with a note explaining that the manufacturer had received 140 GB free! This story is currently isolated and we do not know what drives Western Digital has so much bounty. Technically, nothing prevents it: the hard drive makers use the trays with a total capacity often broader than advertised on the box, the difference being created by the firmware of the disk.
Here, Scorpio 500 GB contain two 320 GB platters, like Scorpio 640 GB This gesture of goodwill may suggest that Western Digital has had production problems (due to the earthquake in Japan?) And must use its stock 640 GB models to meet its orders We contacted 500 GB Western Digital for more information about this.
And you, readers, have you had a good surprise like?
