No, I wasn't kidding, I have three Segates, model ST3750640AS, bought new at the 
same time, and installed at the same time, and not only are the POH different 
but the machine was up for 400+ days at one time. The POHs reported via smartctl 
are 359,559,and 2135. That's just *broken* POH reporting. :-(
