According to the thread http://community.wd.com/t5/Desktop-Mobile-Drives/Difference-s-between-WD30EFRX-and-WDBMMA0030HNC-NRSN/td-p/753908 (which does not seem to allow me to add any further reply, hence this new thread) the two models
WD30EFRX and
WDBMMA0030HNC-NRSN
are identical, the latter being the full retail edition (Sealed box, mounting screws, documentation). However, the product description for the WD30EFRX ( http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1087&language=1 ) includes Linux as one of the compatible operating systems, while the description for the WDBMMA0030HNC-NRSN ( http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1292&language=1 ) is only listing Windows and Mac. Can you confirm that the WDBMMA0030HNC-NRSN is also compatible with Linux systems? Or is there any reason why Linux is not included in the list?
