I solved the Western Digital EAVS drive issue about its voltage possibly
being 5V only. I took it out of its enclosure to tentatively put it in a
USB 3.0 enclosure, and the drive is a Caviar Green with amperage ratings
for both 12V and 5V printed on it. So it must be standard.

As expected. Confirmation is still nice.

Which one of you swore up and down to me that i was full of it for using my
internal WD greens from my Elements drives? One of you claimed it was not
possible to do this.
