What's the Difference?

Call me crazy but these two drives seem awfully similar.

(the drive I have)

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...140-115&DEPA=1
(is it the same?)

Sure do seem similar to me, and that makes me wonder if my Rosewill was made by Aopen and I can use their firmware updates etc.

Any insight is awesome

IIRC, Rosewill drives are rebranded AOpens.

So does that mean I can use the Aopen firmware?
