How can I tell if my Macbook has a Seagate HD?

How can I tell if my Macbook has a Seagate HD? I've tried looking in 'About this Mac' and couldn't see it there so where else can I look?

I just put this string into google and it brings up more details about the drive, this is a seagate.

Click on the Apple Menu; click on About This Mac; click on More Info...; and you can click on Serial - ATA and it should list it there; mine says Hitachi.

If the string starts ST then it's a Seagate as in Seagate Technology.

What's wrong with a Seagate, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks STeve! LOL

No worries - just thought I would point out the obvious as it isn't always obvious to everyone . . . so my wife keeps telling me anyway

Indeed - what's the deal?

I'm guessing it has to do with the seagate problem and with picture. i'm guessing this was sorted a long time ago.

Ah, I didn't catch that story. Thanks for the info!

Oh that story - I thought this was fixed already?

I assume so but we don't when the OP bought their macbook so perhaps they could be affected/have an affect drive.
