Might want to redact the serial number from your pictures. The likelyhood that someone could do something with it is low, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks! I never thought of that... What are the risks?

As far as I know the worst someone could do is mess with the drive's warranty status, but it's a generally good idea to omit unique identifying information from public postings.
