5 times better is an exaggeration. The major difference is the extended warranty. Unless there is a difference in disk rpm or platter density, it isn't going to be even 1.05 times better.

I am working on the return process. Their support portal is not good, every time i try to generate a RMA, i get an error, and i had to create it manually through the customer support

Return and ask them to send Black. Just coz Black looks better than Blue.
