last time I checked, the enterprise drives were ~25%
more expensive than the consumer drives. This difference

Last time I checked, it was +$10 on a $300 drive. I bought
the enterprise drives.
I'm looking at newegg.com right now. Here are prices
for the OEM packaging of the consumer vs. enterprise
1TB drives:
(consumer) ST31000333AS - $109.99
(enterprise) ST31000340NS - $169.99
That looks like more than a $10 difference to me.
As a wise man once said, "Why pay more?".
