Hey guys so I am aware that Hitachi and HGST is essentially the same company and I am looking into buying a new 3TB HDD that is within my budget. Looking through Amazon I saw two HDDs that sparked my interest. One is a Hitachi brand and the other is a HGST brand. The price difference is about $35 and was wondering what exactly is the difference between the two brands? Is the HDD labeled Hitachi essentially a hard drive released before WD acquired their company?
I have provided a link to the two hard drives below.

Edit: I also do see the HGST is SATA III compared to the SATA from Hitachi.
