I on the PC, then I heard loud spinning noise, I thought is the DVD-Rom, after a few second smoke came out from that HDD. Faster off the pc but it's too late.

Never happened to me.
I usually just insist on the model number, clearly telling them: "May I know the MODEL NUMBER?".

They'd usually just bring them out and let me check.
