    I bought one this week off ebuyer (due to arrive today), they told me over the phone that it was a single platter.

    Thats strange...just check ebuyer and the drive I got says this:

    Sorry, this product is now discontinued and is no longer available for sale on the Ebuyer.com website.

    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124735

    Why would it be discontinued? I just got mine yesterday

    Only joking. Well nevermind at least you got one. That's one person we havn't screwed over telling them to get a 320GB drive on the premise that it was actually very fast

    Re: WD3200AAKS 00B3A0 = single platter

    I received two "WD Caviar SE16" 320GB drives from eBuyer today, and they are NOT the 00B3A0 version. They are marked "WD3200AAKS-22B3A0 date 28 JUL 2008".

    Does anyone know about this 22B3A0 version and whether it has a single or double platter? Also does the "SE16" mean 16MB cache?

    Thanks for any help.

    I now realise the model number confirms 16MB.

    Also obviously "22B3A0" is very similar to "00B3A0", so hopefully it is single platter too.

    Re: WD3200AAKS 00B3A0 = single platter

    google has surprisingly litte info. there's only one thread on the interenets about the 22B3A0, and while the results arent hopeful the guy that ran the test is an idiot and shouldn't be trusted totally
