the new design travelstar drives are NOT the DJSA series..
this is the previous model and i don't believe it has the "fluid" bearings..
these all bear the model: IC25N0nnATDA04-0 where "n" is the capacity.. i.e.
20, 30 or 48 and, most likely 60 on the newest addition to the line..
you will find that IBM warranty states "new or serviceable used part"..
i've not seen this used for HDD's, but the 12gig is no longer made, AFAIK..

20GN is the designation for the new model fluid-bearing drives, if
I'm not mistaken. This would explain the quietness, but I didn't know
they were available in smaller sizes.
