more than likely what happened is that some idiot in their returns took
back that 270 meg drive and they repackaged it...

i heard of a group of kids (and adults) who would purchase 8-10 gb
drives and replace them with similiar looking 500 meg ones and then
return them...   Best Buy now askes for a drivers license and has one
of the techs check the model numbers on the box to the hard drive
itselcf..  i found this out after returning a 4.5gb drive a year or so
ago when i realized i did not need it...

or...  it could also be the manf of the drive or ANYONE down the
distrubution channel doing it...
