    Luckily Hard drive works as expected so far. Shipping was horrible ...
    Luckily Hard drive works as expected so far. The shipping was horrible. I dont know who boxed this thing up but you simply do not place a hard drive in a box and ship it without any packaging material of any kind. Just a hard drive flopping around in a box. Box appeared to be flung into my front porch as well. Delicate electronics need to be properly packed.
