Hey,I ended up buying the WDEUBK10000N. So far no issues. It's build seems to be able to take more "abuse" then my last one which looked more like the WDH1U. It's quiet enough; I had to actually put it to my ear to here to see if it was on. Not sure on the temp because I don't keep it running all the time.

upon the time I look I did not find a wdnr4000 anymore only it's lower end 3700 brother. Looking at the obvious difference is the network speed which means example wdnr4300 has more speed technically means steadier output less interruption for your use. However it has a downside cloud reason you want a better router not only for it's speed, signal strength, or disk space but you want it's security. Anything cloud poses that threat to you. Im not security expert I only research and build computers. If you want a true tech engineer look at overclockers.com or tomshardware.com be advised sometimes things they say unless you really are into it you may find it more work ahead just to understand what's given. Construction wise according to my numerous findings and researches CISCO and Netgear sadly are not so different now. CISCO used to be top of the game and dead given choice given the money allows. Dont get me wrong I still believe at a company scale you can still ask them to custom make a router just for your company. Commercial grade material at huge cost so consumers outta question. Hope this guides your decision PS if you are still looking for wdnr4300 looks from my side Amazon has drop the price further to 92.99. Be sure to research the inventory and get your cheapest price as your right.

There is no differance, i have one of each. Get the cheaper one it is the same as the other. I was wondering myself that is why i got one of each, they are exactly the same.

I believe it's just an older model number. I haven't found anything with any difference between the two of them.

The NAS drives are more a hardware difference than software. Sure they may offer some enterprise features like secure erase in hardware, etc. but the real difference is the hardware. These drives are designed to better dampen internal generated and externally received vibrations. This design is due to the close proximity of the drives and the 24/7 operation. Check the specs and these drive typically rank between desktop and enterprise drives in terms of MTBF. They may have longer warranties as well. All-in-all it simply boils down to how much do you love your data? What is being stored on the NAS. Is it precious? I ran a DroboFS for two years with WD green drives. I replaced them with these drives thinking this was a better choice for my circumstances. The choice is ultimately yours.

You can see the comparison at the bottom of the Elements page. Only thing that separates the two is some crappy software. Save your money buy the WD Element.

By your question I can't tell what the 'cheaper one listed by you at this link' actually is...there is no link to it...just a link to Amazon. If you could let me know what that other one was I might be able to explain what differences there are. With that in mind...I bought this one because of the durability of this particular unit. I did some research and this one had a much lower failure rate and is supposed to last much longer than most of the others.

I'll be honest, I am a fan boy of Western Digital, and ASUS btw, but they don't make HD's. In the last few years, I've had more Seagate drives fail on me, than Western Digital. That being said, I am also hard on HD's, and being in Oklahoma, my PC runs real warm through half the year. I would def. go with the Blue WDEZEX for my money.

Wouldn't it be great if WD published such clear comparisons! Here are a few differences from what I can tell - I'm sure there are more: 1. No netflix on this one 2. Default UI is a little different with favorite tiles showing up by default rather than scrolling options across the bottom 3. I can stream content to this one from other devices which is a little nifty. I don't think the old one did this but maybe so. 4. I can't set my favorite .jpg as the background on this one - previous one supported this. I'm sure there are other things.

The first one we bought was bad from the start and we found out by contacting WD Support but went back through Amazon to get the replacement which was quick and easy. Even left the old one in until the new one arrived (had 30 days to return the old one). Contact the seller and they should be able to advise you.

from what I can see, the WD-60737 has "Improved Dark Field Imager", and "Improved SharpEdge". Otherwise they are the same. Unfortunately, I have not seen these side by side to see if this makes any noticeable difference.

It seems very likely that the U and R are different, but ASUS makes it difficult if not impossible to tell if this affects functionality. If you search for the firmware updates, you will notice that each model requires a different download. This would not be the case if the U and R were simply a sale channel designation.Please people, stop simply repeating, "They are the same and W is white." Repeating the same information more doesn't make it more likely to be correct. Please source your data (that means tell us where you got it from). Without either providing evidence that leads to a conclusion or a source for the answer, comments are useless. Thank you.

From WD website- EX2 is hot swappable, IPv4/v6 ready, has more RAM (512mb), Active directory etc. Both seem to use same hard drives though.

I don't know the difference between the two--only that one is a newer model than the other. You should research the model numbers.
