I don't buy in bulk or anything like that but the Toshiba seems to be reliably 5-10% more expensive than the same WD models on the french IT stores I use, mostly because WD and Seagate always have special offers on one of their drive or the other.
I suspect when buying in bulk like BB does the difference becomes even larger ? Also they seem to build so as not to care of the reliability of any drive (as long as it stays within acceptable range), so a gain that may seem massive for us low scale user may not be of much impact to them compared to the cost benefit.
