<<However, keep in mind that HP itself ships Seagates and Quantums in
some HP3000s (I think), and in some HP9000s (I know).  They say they've
asked the manufacturer to fine tune / alter the firmware for various
reasons.>>
 
Our 959KS200 arrived from the HP factory with 10 Seagate ST15150Ws
installed. I think HP's 4GB manufacturing capability is now up, so they
will probably stop shipping outsourced drives.
