Mmm.. that's odd. Here in Canada, they are pretty much the same price, never more than a 5% difference.

Also, what is your stance on Samsung HD's? They are usually a bit cheaper than WD, a bit faster and run cooler. (is there a catch?)

Samsung was at the top of my shopping list when I went out to get a 1.5TB drive. I like the specs, and people who have them seem to like them a lot.

But none of our local retailers stock them, and I didn't want to online/mail order a drive due to the high failure rates of shipped single/retail drives. So I ended up with the WD Black and Green drives instead.
