WD80EFAX-68LHPN0

I bought an 8tb easystore that I intend to pull the drive out of. Reds are typically EFZX, but I do believe this is a china variant with double the cache, can anyone confirm before I pull it out of the enclosure? (I will stress test it for a week or so before opening it up)

It's running firmware: 83.H0A83

It's hard to say. They often change them at a whim mid-production.

There's no way to know ahead of time if an 8tb easystore is a WD Red, but after I have the external drive, I can use CDI to lookup the model and firmware of the drive. I was just hoping for a sanity check to verify that EFAX is still a Red (just with 256mb cache instead of 128mb).
