So last month I was looking to buy a WD 1TB Blue HDD, particularly the WD10EZEX model.
I'm from Chennai and I visited lots of shops. But to my surprise, all they have are green models and in some shops they tried to convince me that green are better than blue models.
In 2 leading shops, they said that they are not receiving any stocks of blue models anymore and they won't be getting any more stocks.
But blue HDD are available in online shops like flipkart, snapdeal, amazon etc.
So running out of options, I got the HDD from Flipkart for 4500₹ but the MRP on the HDD cover says 4300₹.
Now I'm not sure if blue HDD are not available only in Chennai or this is the case all over India.
If this is the case all over India, then its sure that WD is using India to dump their green HDD onto ignorant builders which is not fair IMHO.
