That's interesting. When I bought 8TB EasyStore drives last year, I researched about the same confusion and couldn't see anything that says the Elements have white-labeled drives too.

While true, it’s pretty easy to take some electrical tape and tape over the 3rd pin..since pins 1 and 2 do not do anything you do not need to be perfect.

My rule of thumb is always pick the other option besides Amazon (and I buy a lot from Amazon), Do you think they would ever sell this drive for $160 if Best Buy didn't push them to do it?

You have to use a different card. If that card is associated with another account, it won't go through. I had to change mine with a new account also.
