They just have the hard drive tethered on a piece of cardboard and there's practically no cushion in the tiny box they ship it in. Quote Link to comment

They just have the hard drive tethered on a piece of cardboard and there's practically no cushion in the tiny box they ship it in. I had a completely opposite experience. I ordered one of these from Amazon a few weeks back and I received the drive in an ESD bag, which was suspended with black plastic drive holders inside a perfectly sized cardboard Seagate box, which was all inside of a slightly larger box packed with brown paper corrugated packing material. I was perfectly pleased with the packaging. Quote Link to comment

I was perfectly pleased with the packaging. Hmm, maybe they changed their packaging. It's quite likely they've received several complaints regarding that. The ESD bag is standard. Mine was in an ESD bag, too, but the drive wasn't really protected aside from that. It was a WD10EADS bought a while ago (probably back in 2009). After that experience, I never bought an HDD from Amazon again. I'm in need of HDD's for my new ProLiant MicroServer. Maybe I'll give Amazon a try again and pick up a couple of these.
