Default Seagate 6TB SATA drives -- ST6000DM001 vs. ST6000DX000

I have some 6TB Seagate drives that were bought in their "retail
packaging" as STBD6000100, but the drives themselves are identified as
ST6000DX000.

The 6TB "bare" drives are advertised as ST6000DM001. (I don't have any
to check to see how they are identified internally)

Is there really any difference between them?

And I see that at

http://knowledge.seagate.com/article...language=en_US



the ST6000DX000 drives are listed as compatible with Seagate's own NAS
and NAS Pro devices, but there is no mention of the ST6000DM001.

New discovery: Although the packages of the "retail" STBD6000100 drives
showed a 2-year warranty, the ones I've checked (using the ST6000DX000
model number and the serial numbers that are identified by the system to
which they are attached) shows them as in warranty until July 2018 --
i.e., a 3-year warranty.
