Is it a genuine Travel Star Hard Drive?

[hutty2000]

Hi, I purchased a 100GB 7200 rpm IBM/Hitachi TravelStar Hard Drive on ebay. But I recently noticed that the Hard Dive I receive is not the same as the picture in the auction. The picture in the auction on ebay clearly showed "Travelstar" on the second line under Hitachi Logo.

However, the Hard Drive I received showed "www.hitachi.com" rather than "Travelstar".

Could anyone tell me whether I received the same product as described?

1) The BIOS should indicate the HDD's model number. Is it what it's supposed to be?

2) Go to Hitachi's warranty site. I think there is a page where you can enter the drive's serial number to check how much warranty remains. See if your drive is recognized and the right amount of warranty is shown.
