CHECK THE BEST BUY WEBSITE FREQUENTLY AS THE DRIVE GOES ON SALE FREQUENTLY.
There are two versions of the drive now. One appears to be exclusive to Best Buy. Both drives have the possibility of being a WD Red or a WD White.

You can use CrystalDiskInfo to confirm before you crack them open.
Things to look for when in the store:
On the bottom of the box it will say where it was made. The preferred one is Thailand due to the larger cache.
Made in China: most likely 128MB cahce
Made in Thailand: most likely 256MB cache
Another thing to look for is the serial # prefix. Below is a small list of confirmed serial #s that match up to a specific type of drive found inside these units.
