How can they change warranty period every year? Does it depend on demand or to increase demand?

i dont know. seagate once decreased warranty period to 1 year and after some months they increased it to 2 years.
Atleast 3-5 years is required for a hdd.

wd blue retail 1 tb has 3 years according to wd website while component drive has 2 years. what is the difference between the two?

is it oem vs retail?

you can't claim warranty on OEM drive [ at-least not from HDD manufacturer ] because they have sold it to some 3rd party pc builders or other companies [ for eg . Dell / Toshiba ] under certain different T and C which does not apply for general end user. So be careful about this.

The difference between Retail Kit and Bare HDD is the retail HDDs comes in a fancy packaging, have installation manual and other necessary accessories to install the HDD where's the Bare HDD comes packed in a anti static bag only and may or may not have same warranty period.

Really? I purchased seagate barracuda 1tb that came inside a plastic bag (within flipkart's) packaging and bill and a barebones multi language booklet. No seagate box or even mounting screws

I always end up buying bare HDD not retail kit.
