</div>I take it back. There's a slew of reports in the reviews about this<br>
drive, just today, all complaining that Newegg improperly packed their<br>
drives.<br>
<br>
It's sad---I've ordered a lot of Seagates and a lot of stuff from<br>
Newegg, but it looks like this drive (and Newegg in general for disks)<br>
seems like a bad idea. I'm very glad I haven't bought one of the 1.5TB<br>
disks and, while I was about to put together a new machine and probably<br>
buy its disks from Newegg, I think I'll be using someone (anyone!) else<br>
for at least the drive part of this unless it seems that it's only -this-<br>
drive that Newegg isn't packing well... (I haven't grovelled through<br>
reviews of other drives on the site yet to see if there are complaints<br>
about packing on those, too.)<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>I received one of these drives from Newegg about 2 weeks ago. It came encased in a cocoon of thick bubblewrap, held together by lots of packing tape. I certainly didn't have any concerns about packing methods when mine arrived. I've been using the drive since I got it, no problems thus far <br>
