Are WD Caviar Black Series 4K drives

[MySchizoBuddy]

I know the Caviar Green series is 4k, but is the black series 4k as well?

4K? What are you talking about?

No, the Black Series are not 4K drives. This is from Western Digital's website:

What models utilize Advanced Format technology?

Some models of the WD Caviar Green and WD Scorpio Blue product families are built using Advanced Format technology. Over time more models and capacities will be added. WD drives with Advanced Format technology include special installation information on the drive label so be sure to read the label on your drive before installing it.

The green is a 3 year warranty, the black is a 5 year warranty. Both will most likely be the bottleneck of your system anyway. Please explain what this "4k" is?
