You should note that most companies flag the serial numbers of the drives inside bundled enclosures. I had a 1TB WD MyBook I picked up some years ago, eventually installing the drive in my tower some time later, and just under the 3 year warranty it started failing. When looking into getting it replaced the drive's serial number would always return the MyBook product, not the WD10EACS that was inside it. If I was to return it, I would have to re-install it into the enclosure, and make sure the "warranty is void if broken" sticker which I naturally broke removing the drive, was unbroken. I've also seen similar with Seagate FreeAgent bundled external drives.
