Got a new WD Drive. How to tell if it has fluid bearing motors?

[FearoftheNight]

Hi guys. I just got a WD drive from rma. I wont be willing to put it into my system if it'd the old and whiny kind. Is there any number on the drive that will tell me if its one of the newer fluid bearing models? Thanks in advance.

For fluid bearings it should have an " LB " at the end of the model number, where in the above post it states " JB ".
