That's the problem with HP drives. They are so popular with everyone
(Compaq is a big buyer of them) that other HP divisions have problems
getting them and have to OEM drives from other companies like
Seagate. :-) The 1GB drives are actually dual source from Seagate
and HP. You can get either one when you order one.
