    Looking here I cant see any major differences, but the ezrx looks like the better option.

    Would you not consider a Caviar Red drive? Those are designed for NAS usage.

    Am thinking the little extra for the ESRX alright.

    I'll consider it but about €16 in the difference.. and it's only a 1 Bay NAS / Media Server that's simply relaying video to various devices around the house (Apple TV, Smart TV etc).

    EZRX has higher-density platters. It should be 2x1TB platters compared to 3x750 or even 4x500 that some EARX have.

    I would go for the EZRX if you are happy with the price difference.

    Prices have went up on Amazon, so went to PC World and picked up the EARX model (manufacture date of November 2012) for €99.99.

    Will do the job and at least I don't have to return it all the way to Amazon if something goes belly up.
