There are different ways to find the model of internal drive that is in an Easystore shell for each operating system, but I'm going to list just one each based on what the community thinks is best.

That way all that data isn't spread between multiple maintainers.įinding out which drive you have before shucking itĮven with /u/dokukinoko's run down, the only way to be certain of what drive is inside an Easystore is plugging it in to a computer and running a check. Recommended by /u/driscoll42 I think anyone looking to share information about the serial number to model number side of things should compile their info there.

In addition to that, slickdeals has generated a pretty decent wiki for something similar. u/dokukinoko has a great run down here on how to potentially identify the actual model of the drive inside the Easystore shell based on information available on the box. WD80EFZX (older Made in China), WD80EFAX (older Made in Thailand), WD80EMAZ (Seemingly newer packaged Easyshares), WD80EMZZ (? A few reports of this drive lately, looking for info on them) What Internal drive is likely in any given Easystoreīased on the information I have right now, the following chart is what you're likely to get from a particular Easyshare model, and in the case of the NESN some clarification on them as it seems to change depending on when it was boxed and where. The only reason I mention this: I won't be surprised if we see the NEBB come back for Black Friday 2018, and either way there are probably still some out there in stores and plenty of people did buy them so all the information here will stay here for the foreseeable future. I imagine the only reason we still saw it available for so long was they didn't sell nearly as many as they expected over the holidays. BBY commonly works with manufacturers to produce special versions of products that will be exclusively sold at BBY for a deep discount during certain sales periods, namely Black Friday. I'm pretty sure the NEBB was a Black Friday special only, anyways. NEBB appears to be no longer available online. You can also sign up for price alerts at (thanks to /u/veritas413 for the notice on this). Historical pricing on the drive via PC Part Picker.
