These two drives seem to be extremely similar; I want to know why the model numbers are different.  Any ideas?  The strangest thing is that searching for “WD200MFYYZ” on the WD support site yields no results.   WHT!?!?

Same performance but the WD200M uses more power and is heavier. I would be suspicious that the WD200M has an extra platter…

Thank you for finding that spec sheet!  I think you must be right.
