I just purchased a 8tb WD Easystore drive from Bestbuy when it was on sale last week. People are saying that the drive inside is much better than advertised. They say it is a 7200 rpm instead of a 5400 rpm drive and that it is a Red drive instead of a Black drive. The Red meaning that it has 256mb of cache instead of the Black which is only 128mb. They say it depends on where the drive was made. If it was made in Thailand, as it says on my box, then it is the better drive. If it says it was made in China then it is not.
Is there any AP I can use on the drive that will tell me what it really is unless someone knows for sure and I don't have to check. I don't want to remove the plastic cover on the external drive to see what it says in the label because it is a little tricky to remove and mostly because I'm not sure I can put it back together again.
