This category lists all Western Digital drives that are members of the WD Marvell family Zephyr. Zephyr improves on the previous Mariner family by increasing the maximum density to 375 GB (only used for the 750 GB model), and also adding Advanced Format, much like the Marn5 4K family which saw limited use.
