Hi Fred,

I have two of these at home - according to smartctl:

=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
Model Family:     Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 family
Device Model:     ST3250823A
Serial Number:    3ND01DCJ
Firmware Version: 3.01
User Capacity:    250,059,350,016 bytes

Model Family:     Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 family
Device Model:     ST3250823A
Serial Number:    5ND0Y73D
Firmware Version: 3.03

I couldn't tell you the part number without actually looking at them,
but I can do a swap for you.  I will, however, need the 350GB drive in
advance, as those drives are currently storing my MythTV shows on LVM.

HTH,

Paul
