Template:Infobox Marvell family/doc

This template is designed to be used on Western Digital Marvell family pages or categories. Unlike the public facing WD families (Western Digital Blue Desktop, Western Digital Internal Use and similar), a Marvell family defines more technical details (such as max platters and capacity per platter) and can be shared across the aforementioned public families (e.g. Diablo3s has models in the Blue, Green, Purple, AV-GP and Red families).
