I've been using WD My Passport external hard drives for years without any issues. I'm looking to buy several more for robust data storage. I noticed that both Sam’s Club and Best Buy offer the WD My Passport 5TB external hard drive. Sam’s Club's version is white. Best Buy's version is black. However, the price difference is substantial:

Best Buy: WDBPKJ0050BBK-WESN (SKU: 6380848) - $130-145 USD

Sam's Club: WDBPKJ0050BWT-WESB (Item #990316310) - $90-100 USD

Sam’s Club’s best price is $40 less than Best Buy’s. Is there any difference in speed or throughput between these two? Are they exactly the same other than color, or am I missing something?
