Other than the price I don't see any difference. Even the descriptions are
similiar.

Must've been one of those brain fart days, huh?

First drive: yeah it's a drive, spins faster (and noisier)
Second drive: Oooh, a pretty see-through window that gets obstructed once
you actually install the drive.

First 2 drives: OEM w/rebates
Second 2 drive: retail w/o rebates
Don't know what OEM means?

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer - marketted for companies to install
in PCs. Don't usually get pretty packaging, drivers etc.

Retail = Retail - meant to go in shops for ordinary people to buy. Comes in
a shiny box, with manuals and drivers.

Additionally, with regard to HDDs:

OEM, usually come with 1 year warranty

Retail, comes with up to 5 years warranty.
