CENTRIA comes in two models: WNDR4720, which comes with a 2 TB hard drive, and
WNDR4700, for which you provide your own hard drive. You can upgrade the hard disk drive at
any time. Both models have two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports for adding even more storage,
should you need it. An SD card reader affords simple, single-click backup of media to the internal
hard drive.
