They are the same however...I would also say because of the usage they get, they would be similar to the higher end enterprise drives you can buy (the 3yr warranty vs 1 yr ones)....won't matter in the resell market...just wipe them and sell them.
Thanks ... some of the labels on the hard drives were what had me wondering. It's a nice surprise to learn that they're probably a higher quality drive. Keepers for sure !

Ran across a few more satellite receivers today. None with a hard drive inside but still a nice mid-grade board with little plastic waste. They're kinda nice because most everything there is recyclable. They don't take very long to break down either.
