Puchased a Returned Hard Drive? Western Digital 1TB RE3

I purchased a WD's RE3(RAID Edition 3) 1TB internal hard drive yesterday from a local online store called 360buy.com, and checking it immediately with hdtune 2.55, i am curious how a new drive with such S.M.A.R.T information:

WDC WD1002FBYS-01A6B0 (1000GB)

Start/Stop Count: 3

Power On Hours Count: 140...

is it a Returned Hard Drive? used 140 hours, almost 6 days. Hey! WD, Could you kindly explain this?

The drive did not come with any cables, not quiet, and just a bit faster then I expected(have another WD's 500GB AAKS).

Update:

Nokia's N8x0 get supported by Ubuntu 9.04

I just read this exciting news from engadget, it says Ubuntu 9.04 ported to Nokia's N8x0 Internet Tablets, which also includes the N800(weight only 206g) and N810(226g). so you have more freedom to install apps and tools you wanna use. Actually I have no Nokia's N8x0 internet tables, runs Maemo, it's a motified version of Debian GNU/linux. i like this kind of ultraportable devices. In China Mainland, Nokia dont release it then you cant get one except from secondhand or black market. I purchased HP Mini 1000(1.09kg), it's more faster and have larger storage capacity, higher resolution, support SDHC. It belongs in the netbook category. I am thinking how to port Android over to the HP Mini 1000. Yeah, i know it's tough to port it, but i'd love to do this kind of thing. I will update you here with any further news.
