According to my book on Imprimis, it's not an Imprimis drive.  I have a
brochure with the old Imprimis part numbers along with their new ST part
numbers.  That does not mean that it is not an Imprimis drive.  Keep in mind
that Imprimis is now a subdivision of Seagate.  It could be a new addition to
the Swift 3.5" IDE family.
