“What's the difference between this drive and the WD40EFRX?”

• None, that is what this drive is inside the packaging. This is the retail kit. See my attached screenshot from my NAS showing the two I just picked up recently.

• They are actually the exact same drive. The WD40EFRX is usually classified as a bare drive (brown box) whereas this particular one is a retail version (has screws and instructions). But, when you look at the retail version drive, it uses the WD40EFRX name as well.

• It's the same drive. Difference is that this sku is the manufacturer box with attachments while the other is a plain cardboard box with no attachments.

• This drive is SMR, not CMR. If you are using RAID you will want to get the WD40EFRX.
