I thought I was never going to find that thing.  It is pretty well
hidden.  Anyway:

Serial Number  Seagate Part Number Warranty Status 
Z1F0PKT5           9YN166-302       Out of Warranty  

So, I guess I need to check newegg and see if I can show a invoice that
it is less than two years old.  I'm not sure that it is tho.
