*The drive inside your external hard drive, network hard drive, WD TV, or router enclosure may vary depending on application. There are several things you should know about WD external hard drives:
*Depending on model, the internal hard drive in an external enclosure could be either SATA or native USB.
***We can only guarantee drive capacity. We cannot guarantee a particular internal hard drive model, data interface, rotational speed, or cache size in the external hard drive enclosure.
***Dismantling any single-drive external enclosure to obtain this information will void the warranty of the hard drive.
Interface and cache of the hard drives inside the external enclosure does not affect the performance or the data transfer rate of the external hard drive unit.

So if you want to know RPM & other internal details of an external drive you are buying, you cant?

there's some drive/system info programs out there that can figure it out from the model number
(or if unwilling to install such get the model info from the control panel->device manager->details tab: Hardware Ids and google them to the manufacturers site and look for the specs
Sin tack
the any key okay

Quite frankly I don't think they know themselves.
I have a few of their external enclosures, sold as "WD My Book", and most of them have been taken out of their enclosures to be used as internal drives or as part of a RAID.
Inside, I've seen WD Green drives, WD Blue, another with a plain white label with practically nothing but a serial number on it, and an HGST.
(but boy, am I gonna be pissed if I ever find a Seagate in there!)

Like has been said, they are using these external enclosures to just clear out other hard drives. Had a friend drop one of these external drives, so it was time to pull it out and see what I could recover. Absolute #%$ to get into (opinion: stupid). These are being marketed to "consumers" - those that don't know any better. I gave up on these, and just buy my own external USB 3.0 enclosures. More control.

O'reilly Media has recently discontinued DRM-free PDF ebooks, instead suggesting that customers sign up for it's subscription based Safari which does not offer PDFs. It's a sad day for a lot of programmers.
If you're a fan of O'reillys books and like the PDFs, please consider upvoting this "idea" on the O'reilly support website to bring DRM-free PDFs. Hopefully if they're enough upvotes, O'reilly will reconsider:

They need not reconsider. There's competition, and if they do not serve the need, someone else will.
Let them have their DRM

Why do they bother?
O'Reilly might be discontinuing DRM-free PDFs, but I'm sure TPB isn't...

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
