So I've been looking around at <1TB hard drives and I think I finally figured out WD's lettering scheme, but still a little confused on the numbers.
I'm assuming that the # after the GB (ie: WD5001/WD5002) are the number of platters. Can anyone confirm or refute this? trying to find details on WD's identification scheme is like pulling teeth.
Also, does it even matter? I've read a single high density platter provides better performance than a dual platter drive, confirm/refute.
