Maxtor 250GB SATA Model Numbering... what's the difference?

[Weatherton]

Is there a difference between These two hard drives

Maybe one is native SATA and one isn't? Zip Zoom Fly has the same models with seemingly identical descriptions as well...

First One

Second One

The difference is that 6L drives adhear to the new EU lead-free directive(i.e. there's no lead used in making the PCB), while the 6B's don't. The 6Bs are being phased out as we speak.
