Is this the Seagate 500GB 7200.4?

I'm trying to find out if this is the same seagate drive. I have searched around but could not find anywhere saying its a 7200.4.

It has a different number ST905003N3A1AS-RK I know RK means retail kit, but I just wanted to make sure it is the same drive before I go and buy it.

Thanks

I just checked them out at seagate and they do appear to be similar but there's more information being provided (by seagate) for the ST9500420AS. Personally I buy all of my component gear at newegg anyways so that's the one I'd recommend.

I do to, but I just have time today to do it, and I have a gift card to bestbuy so Id figured I would use it on that if they were the same.

The specs are the same, but I just can't find anywhere that has that magic 7200.4 somewhere.

Just so everyone knows, it is the 7200.4 drive. Its not labeled anywhere on the package, but it is on the drive it self.
