I might try getting one and put in my 522 to see if the software "magically" decides I have a 625, ala the 7100/7200 days:

{if HD size > 10GB then

model = '7200'​

else

model = '7100'​

end if}

Not sure what "CE" on the end of the model number means but here's the closest specs from Seagate. http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/ata/st3250823a.html

It's a 7200rpm drive with 8MB buffer which might help with the audio/video dropouts problem the 522 is notorious for?

Usually, the CE means Consumer Electronics type and have low noise, low heat parameters then original one.

Pepper, it was a report - the 625 model have different id ( something like config letters).
