This is an older (several months) drive - the '307' on this drive is its
formatted capacity using 1024 byte blocks.  The new drives (which are
physically identical) have the part number 94171-350.  The '350' is the
unformatted capacity.  Seagate decided to have the part numbers reflect
the unformatted capacity, so there have been a few part numbers change.
