1). Western Digital WD3200AAKS-00B3A0 320GB, this the partnumber for the new platter,
I cant anwser the other 2 questions.

* edit I did a test on my WD6400AAKS, if i put AAM value of 128 i got a accestime of 15.6ms but it makes really less noise, however when i jack it up to 254, i got a accestime of 12.6ms and it is noticeable louder in seek, but nothing much to bother so I leave it at 254

So from my quessing the 320GB got a locked AAM of 128 thus higher accestime and less noise, as my WD6400AAKS shows a default of 128 , however HDtune put it automaticly after install on 254.

WHEW! Well because they are already configred for RAID 0, I could not inspect the individual drives in Vista. Sooooo, I had to pull them out. What a pain!! But...as you can see in the pic...they are the right ones...and they seem to perform well too...
