It's probably because Dell buys IBM parts in bulk and IBM leaves the warranty aspect of it up to Dell. Had it still been in Dell warranty then Dell would have replaced the IBM drive with the same model IBM drive. Unless you purchase a used and refurbished computer from Dell, all you get are new parts, though replacement parts I believe have a chance of being refurbished for any machine older than 30 days.
