I don't know anything about the model numbers, but the Y-USB adapter is for older computers that don't output enough juice to power the drive. If you have a newer PC or Mac, you don't need it.

You tell me.Lol, I dunno what the 40520 is so I Donkey Kong.If it is anything like the other e-mails that I get, it is usually a differentmodel number and or different size.

It doesn't mean anything in particular, it's just the new model. It's slimmer than the original. There are alsonew features ;)

Sorry, but I have not tried to change it. I would check it now but it's at my other home.

The one I got in Dec 2013 is 1.0 :-(, but it was on sale so maybe they cleared out the old ones, not sure how much a difference it makes as the 1.0 one ROCKS!

This happened to me too, I ordered what is apparently the old model (ASIN: B000G1EQ1W), but was shipped the new model that shows up as a different product (ASIN: B000ULJU0A). This was bought and shipped from Amazon, not a different seller.

Mine is October 2013 model #201951 so i dont think it is the newest model, the mfg. date is under the model number

Best bet is to check the code that looks similar to this "MC723G/A A1382". I accidently bought the right title and name but wrong code. So double check that and also look at the connection if they match on the picture. You'll be surprised how some of them have a slight difference between each year model. Good luck!

That model # doesn't show up for me as a valid model. Are you sure that is correct?

I agree, this is a new model, even I was confused with it. Hopefully Amazon.com will correct it.

I have no idea since I didn't purchase that model. Generally paying substantially more for the new model of anything is not justified when only incremental changes have been made. It all comes down to research and a value decision.

(I cant tell if my "Cover" stretched over time or what but i do remember it being "snugger", before) .. .Anyway, I looked fast at the NWZE383 and it appears similar to the one I have (Button placement, size) .. I think its the firmware and/or the size (capacity it can hold) that changes from model to model. I would GUESS that it shouldn't be any problem at all, fitting that model

Mike, I may have already responded to this inquiry, but if not, here goes. It is my understanding that a new suffix letter is assigned with every little minor change to the existing unit. The only significant change I have personally seen, is when I bought the unit marketed under the "ETEKCITY" name, as a UV5RU. The 'band' button is missing. This is compared to a Bao Feng UV5RA, that it replaced. Actually, I like it more. Thank heaven, I got this 'scumputer' fixed.BTW, the 'emergency' battery pack does fit the Etekcity model, and the 3800mahr batt can fit all of them, if you're not afraid of trimming off a bit of plastic.

I just received my battery today, and it's the old style (non-RED). It's sad that Milwaukee didn't change the part number when they upgraded the battery capacity. Having units with dramatically different ratings which share a common part number leads to unhappy customers (like me!).

Not sure-- All I know is they had a thinner walled one, and their new one is thicker walled-- not sure of model numbers etc.

I think the difference is that the new model probably has better internal components. Improvements to models are usually never stated, only new features if any.

No clue. Pictures online look identical. Suspect just a minor manufacturing change, but only guessing.
