[SOLVED] Toshiba MG03ACA300: PMR or CMR drive?

[red pine]

This is the drive that was inside OWC's Mercury Elite Pro. I've tried to find out if it's a PMR or a CMR drive but, of course, this information is hard to find. I understand if you have the right diagnostic tools, you can figure it out for yourself, but that's not me. Anyone here happen to know? Thanks.

Its the older Toshiba model so it definitely should be PMR.

The manual makes no mention of shingled recording.
