Sample: WD3200JD-00KLB0
Formula: AAbbbbCD-eeFGHi

AA = WesternDigital

bbbb = Capacity in 100MB units (GBx10)

C = Cache(buffer) size and drive's purpose:
* Desktop drives: B=2MB, J=8MB, K=16MB
* Enterprise drives 7200rpm: S=8MB, Y=16MB
* Enterprise drives 10000rpm: G=8MB, A=16MB

D = Interface and some other specs:
* B=ATA, D=SATA150, S=SATA300, R=SATA150(RaidEdition2), H=SATA150(Window)

ee = Vendor code (probably):
* 00=general consumers, 01=general enterprise, 22=promotional(?),
* 07/08/11/14/23/32/40/41/50/55/56/57/58/60/75/88/98=unknown (of them 55 is pretty much used)

F = May be related to platters (needs more research)

G = ??? (needs more research)

H = Related to interface/firmware and something more (needs more research):
* A=ATA(Caviar over 100GB)/ATAandSATA(Caviar below 100GB), B=SATA(Caviar over 100GB), C=ATAandSATA(Caviar,    newer updates), A/C/R=Generation(RaptorSATA), T=LaptopDrive

i = Firmware version (probably):
* 0/1/2=larger is newer (if the preceeding letter is same).
