Their rebranding and name switching is not very reassuring to me. I ordered two Red Plus drives (WD101EFAX) last month, but the drives I got are labeled "Red".

Their rebranding and name switching is not very reassuring to me. I ordered two Red Plus drives (WD101EFAX) last month, but the drives I got are labeled "Red". I remember seeing some fine print (maybe on their website or in the box I got) which said "you might get drives that look like they are Red, but we promise they totally are Red Plus ...". That said, the drives are working fine AFAICT and I honestly don't know enough about hard drives to tell the difference.
