What is the difference between a bare drive vs. one that appears to be
in consumer packaging? Is it just the packaging. For 5 bux difference,
I can skip the glossy box.

No difference in the drive, however you mau get different
warranty periods and you may get mounting material and/or
extra software with the drive in a box. Usually not worth
the price difference.
