don't forget we're talking external and usb 3.0 here, so the price
comparison is apples to oranges if you don't include an enclosure.
below we're just wondering why the cost of a bare WD is the nearly
the same as one with an enclosure. The top capacity drives
typically are not cost effective compared to the lesser ones,
unless higher capacity drives are about
the hit the streets (IME).
What's the warranty on the enclosure?

the bare WD 3TB Green is $140 on Amazon with a 3 year warranty.
External version of 3GB Green is $137 (now) on Amazon with a 2 year
warranty.
So perhaps the shorter warranty explains the lower price on the external?
That is my thought....warranties count for something and a case does
raise operating temps.
