Difference between WD-60C9 and the WD-60737?? Does anybody know what the difference is between the WD-60C9 and the WD-60737?

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.

Mine is also 5537. I dont see any difference in specs when I go to Dell website and input 5537. Let us know if you find out why they are showing two different model numbers.

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.

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.

Hi. I don't know, since I mounted a main disk 240 Gb Corsair Force SSD and let a 750 Gb WD Caviar Black for storage I did not looked again in WD offers. This is crap and if it is discontinued much better for all the people who will not waist money for nothing. I let is for storage but disconeccted. I only connet it and save something there from time to time. Regards

There is no difference, Diskless means that this unit came without any HDD inside from manufacture. You will have to buy them later yourself.

Thank you for contacting us. I am not sure so I looked at other posts about this. It seems they are very close in performance but this stood out: "The other thing to keep in mind when choosing a drive is that Western Digital?s enterprise drives are meant to be constantly in use, 24/7. The consumer drives are rated for 300,000 load/unload cycles, whereas the enterprise drives are are rated for double that at 600,000 load/unload cycles. This means the enterprise drive is guaranteed to have a longer use-life than a consumer drive under identical conditions." Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

If I recall, the Newegg WD Reds sold closer to release and had firmware issues. I had the same questions and came to the conclusion that Amazon got a later batch. Try sorting the Newegg reviews by date.

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

One is pre-formatted for HFS+ (Mac) while the 900 is, I believe, NTFS (Windows) but has the Mac drivers so you can write to the NTFS disk. It doesn't really matter which one you get, you can just format them to the file system that you like.

Dunno...but I doubt it. You'd probably get an answer from WD's customer service 877-934-6972 (Mon-Fri)

I'm pretty sure the 5088 is just an older version of the 5099. The 5099 has an idiot button to ease in the setup operation, but to be honest, I have no idea how it's suppose to work. I never used the button. I just plugged it in and everything worked. As for differences between the two. I say get the cheaper. They're both the same.

As far as I can tell, there is no difference. All of the specs are identical - I thought maybe it was just an "updated" version. Hope this helps!

Hey Guys,Thanks for the advice. I ended up going with the 983. I expect to receive it mid April. I actually had a Toshiba D3 but I just recently sold it with my HD collection. As I have quite a large collection of SD DVD's it made sense to go with the best quality upconverting player available especially as there would be quite a noticible PQ difference on a 72" display. The plan now is to pick up a cheap Blue Ray player during thanksgiving or boxing day sales which I will use purely for Blue Ray while the 983 will be uses for everything else.

I would use nothing BUT these drives in anything I built or upgraded. They're a bit pricier, and no one ever thinks about it, but the warranty on THESE hard drives, the WD Black series, is a full 5Y. VERY few other mfrs even offer a 5y warranty. And WD drives earn that warranty reputation, I haven't had a WD drive fail, EVER. In each case -- over a dozen -- they've become useless through increasing capacity, never mechanical/electronic failure. That is, I probably have an 80gig WD drive that's still functioning. It's just not worth plugging in and taking up a SATA channel when I can get that capacity on a freaking flash drive nowadays... Yes, they're that good. You can "save money" by buying something cheaper. But you'll pay in the long run with headaches from lost data, or time spent rebuilding your windows/software/os and tweaking it back to the way you had it. The HD is the soul of your machine. Everything else fails, you can practically swap a part back in and you're up and running. But the HD fails and you've got a multiday to longer term headache to get things back to "normal". And, for general purposes, they're among the best drives in performance terms, too. Tom's Hardware may rate something else marginally faster, but not by much. And not by enough to drag you away from WD Black. As the old saw goes, once you go Black, you'll never go back. :-D
