This is for a Dell Inspiron E1705/9400. I'm using a non-OEM disk (a Hitachi 320 GB drive). Note that matching on "MP061" doesn't work -- it needs to be "MP061*" due to the way dmidecode seems to return the data (with a bunch of spaces after the tag). Hence I've attached the data rather than merely I've only had this thing a month or so and already had over 70,000 unload cycles.
