looking at a couple of refurbished 3 TB drives on newegg -- $70 for the Deskstar and $90 for the Ultrastar. what's the actual difference between the two other than branding? is the Ultrastar worth the extra $20?
 
Ultrastar are Near Line Enterprise drives. They have 5yr warranty when new. Believe they are made to run in close proximity of other drives, as in raid enclosures.
