Eric,
Item "3" in your list is not practical, because no drive
maker allows the same drives that large oem's purchase to be placed in retail. There are obvious reasons, but your position stated for the average joe consumer is flawed.

I don't believe your statement is correct that OEM drives and retail drives always differ. They may have slight configuration differences, but fundamentally I think they're the same drive with identical or near-identical firmware.
If there is somebody you should believe about such stuff, that would be Andre. (by the way he was a T13 committee member not so long ago)
And, hey, i would have been rather surprised if you have answered otherwise, given your email address...
cheers, Samium Gromoff
