:shock:

Does PC3K have support for those ones?

I'm still on an older version of PC3K because the new version is too buggy for me, so I'm not sure.

Aren't the Gold labels supposed to be the really high end Western Digital drive? I guess it makes sense that they do this by putting a WD label on a HGST drive.

Definitely looks like a Hitachi drive.

I'm running 6.1.14 and will stick with this for a while. The newer version has nice additions like being able to decrypt Filevault on the fly etc, but I just had too many issues. I'll try the next release when it's out.
