Seemingly random WD warranty periods

[Deady]

Hello,

Can anyone explain why a Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 32MB Cache - OEM (WD5002AALX) has a 1 year warranty,
while the 750gb version: Western Digital Caviar Black 750GB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (WD7502AAEX) [WD7502AAEX] has a 5 year warranty?

It seems a bit random?

It's interesting that the AALX part of the 500GB's product code doesn't even appear on WD's warranty information.

WD Warranty

Though other e-tailer sites state the WD5002AALX has a 5 year warranty.
