i had these and got rid of them right away. i was told by seagate after hours of arguing that the aak can NOT be flashed to anything else.. unless someone has been able to do this. i returned them to a local friend and was able to see what i got first. even though i bought them from fry's my friend at a local store (he's the manager) let me do a exchange with the on the shelf ones from there since the upc's matched..imo the aak are junk
