I see I left the original version out of my message. :)
They all arrived with SN04 and I received SN05 from Seagate.
Note that if you look around, people have discussed flashing this drive
with AN05 (which is the firmware Adaptec distributes, IIRC). I
preferred to contact Seagate directly and follow their advice, using the
firmware they provided based on my serial numbers.
Regards,
Richard
