I've bought a Dell Inspiron 17 R a little over a year ago. Just one week past warranty, my hard drive crashed. I know I had a 1 TB hard drive, & I thought it was particulary fast -- maybe 7200 rpm. This is from the component configuration on the Dell website about some of my components (it's kinda Greek to me):
| 9NFG3 | 1 | MODULE, HARD DRIVE, 1T, 5.4, P11, 4K, ML500M |
| G2J3X | 1 | Hard Drive, 1T, S2, 5.4, 2.5, P11, 4K, ML500M |
| 13JRT | 1 | Module, Solid State Drive, 32, Full, Mcard, #2, 830 |
| 7C4P7 | 1 | Solid State Drive, 32, S3, FULL, MCARD, PM830 |
I brought it to a local repair shop. They returned my hard drive to me: a WD Scorpio Blue, 1 TB, 5400 rpm. They replaced it, due to a claimed "mistake," with a 500 GB drive rather than 1 TB -- the invoice says Seagate Black Able. Device Manager says I have: Samsung SSD PM830 mSATA 32 GB ATA device; and ST500LM012 HN-M500MBB ATA device.
Can anyone interpret this for me, & tell me how much I lost in this transaction? I would so appreciate knowing what's going on.
