    "Western Digital has made some changes to how it brands its WD Red Plus
    hard drive family after taking heat for its decision to mislabel its
    hard drive speeds earlier this year. At the time, individual customers performed some rather clever acoustic analysis to confirm that the hard
    drives Western Digital claimed were 5400 RPM drives were actually 7200
    RPM drives."

    How very strange to under represent your capabilities.
