I think this is a link to the WD drives:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=280&language=en

Interestingly enough the WD warranty is 3 years on the AVJS drives vs 5
Years with the Seagtae SV35 drives, however I think the WD power consumption
figures were significantly lower.

Cheers,

Roo
