    Just bought a New Seagate.

    I just bought a new Seagate 160 GB drive. I notice on the bottom the circuitry is showing...my previous drive had a cover over this. Should it have a cover? Or is this a new way hard drives are?

    It is fine, plug it in and enjoy the drive capacity.

    My SCSI HDDs have a cover around the media area but the PCA is visible.

    Different designs use different techniques.

    To assure yourself that everything is A-ok you can always have a look at the technical online manual if you are interested. When you do install and uninstall the HDD just be careful of the PCA.
