Both the hard drives are Black Western Digital, but one is significantly more expensive than the other. The more expensive one is being sold by a 3rd-Party however, which may be the reason why it's more expensive, but I wanted to make sure both of them are the same hard drive. Thanks for the help in advance!

The more expensive one:

Welcome to the community, MrYumYumz!

Both models in your links are indeed WD Black drives. The WD1003FZEX (second link) is just a newer model. You can check more details and all of its specs here: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=5NDmR1
As for the WD1002FAEX (your first link), again a WD Black drive, is a bit older than the WD1003FZEX. You can read more about the specs for that model as well here: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=wB0axj

Hope I was helpful! Keep me posted if you've got more questions! :)
