This drive's specifications seem to be the same as this one's: WD 4TB My Book USB 3.0 External Hard DriveHowever, the former is about USD 45 more expensive than the latter. Do you know why?
In general, the Elements drives are more economical. Our pricing is however based on many factors. For example when we can get a discount on MyBooks from our distributor, we pass that along to our customers.
