What Is Difference Between 'my Book' And 'my Book Essentials'

I asked for "My Book Essential 3TB" external hard-drive and at store they handed me "My Book 3TB" instead. From model number it looks like "My Book 3TB" that I have has "WDBACW0030HBK-01" as model number. But I think "My Book Essesntials 3D" model number is: WDBACW0030HBK-NESN What is really difference.. which one is more recent model? I want to make sure I was not cheated at store -someone giving me older model but charging me $139 price for "My Home Book Essential 3TB"? Please explain... I could not find any useful info on web explaning what exactly "Eseesntial" means -is it more or less in features compared to "My Book" etc?

I have checked their website and they are the same thing. I think that "mybook" is just shortened so it will fit better in certain headings.

Feel free to resubmit the question if you didn't find it useful.
