only difference is no software (its on the internet) and no sata cable ($2)
any pc hardware store should have retail HDDs. frys, bestbuy, microcenter, etc afaik...

OEM:
Drive in ESD/Bubble wrap

Retail:
Drive with Sata cable in ESD and all in a nice looking box.

OEM:
$55

Retail:
$70

That's the difference. Nothing more, nothing less.
