You might want to pop that sucker open and take a looksee!
Yes. It's a brand-new drive. Came with 1.7FW on it. It's also using the new style plastic chassis (What I call revision 2 -- the first plastic chassis was not sized right and won't fit in many laptops).

I bought a 128GB Turbo last October as well. It had the mis-sized plastic chassis and came with 1.7FW.

BUT -- I second your concern. I asked OCZ about the 128GB Turbo, and got a response -- just a bizzare one. What I was trying to figure out it if OCZ was taking RMAs and returns, doing a new "factory flash" and putting the drives in a new plastic chassis (the metal ones get scratched really easy). I'm not saying that's what they're doing, but I at least consider it a possibility. They would have some drives in stock for RMAs/warraties, so it could be that they do maintain some old stock.
