Depending on your setup, you may also need to make some minor modifications to the drive: google.com/search?q=3.3V+wd+easystore The theory is that this is a form of market segmentation, where enthusiasts/companies are willing to pay more for a bare drive regular consumers.

For instance, I got all white label WD80EMAZs (256MB cache, non-SMR, same firmware as the Reds) in this batch, so I had to insulate the 3.3V pins. There are also true Reds, 128MB and 512MB cache drives, helium filleds, 7.2K HGSTs slowed to 5.4K, and other variants.
