Customer Review: Great Product! Poor shipping from Amazon :(
Summary: 5 Stars

I originally received one of these drives as an RMA replacement for a 500gb hard drive that I had fail, and I really liked it. It's quick and has ample storage. Amazon then had a sale on the same model hard drive, and I got it into my head to buy another identical drive in the pursuit of an eventual RAID setup. Until I get more hard drives to fill out a RAID5, this new drive I purchased from Amazon has held up well as a standard backup drive. I have had zero issues with it for the month or so it has been running.

What I DID have issues with was Amazon's packing job. Hard drives are sensitive items, and I was severely disappointed with the condition my package arrived in. First of all, the box arrived badly damaged. This is of course not Amazon's fault, but it was not a good start to my product unpacking experience. Once I got it open I found a smaller box poorly padded with one piece of inflatable package padding, which protected only three sides of the smaller inside box (one side was flat on the bottom of the bigger box). Inside that resided my poor hard drive which was in an anti-static bag surrounded by deflated padding bubbles. It had been rattling around, almost entirely unpadded. I understand this is an OEM drive and does not come with the full retail packaging, but when shipping sensitive materials I consider it a minimum of decency to at least ship it in packaging that will prevent it from potential damage. Amazon utterly failed in this regard, and also failed to respond to my complaints concerning the packaging after I received it. 5 stars on the product, 1 star on Amazon. It made me remember why I do most of my computer hardware purchases at Newegg.
