What is the difference between a "bare drive" and other types of hard drives?

The main difference is it does not come in a retail box, no software is provided, no Sata cable and the warranty may or may not be the same. Also the price on a bare drive is normally lower, than one that is retail packaged. I would not worry about the warranty period in terms of years difference, Most manufacturers have dropped all their warranties to a One year period on lower end drives. Just do the research, read the reviews and make your decision. I Use the drive I bought in a home theater computer to record my TV programs. It has worked flawlessly thus far. Hope this help. Have a great day.

Does this WD AV-GP come in 3 and 4 TB? If so what are your p/n s to search for availability and price? I am getting a new Directv Gennie Hr44 and want to expand it before start using it.

WD30EURS is the model designation for the 3TB version. I don't know of anyone that makes a SATA II (3 Gb/s) 4TB drive; all the 4TB drives I've seen were SATA III (6 Gb/s)
