Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: I do not own this drive. I disagree with ignorant 1 Egg reviews.
Cons: N/A "High Understanding" reviewer from 8/3/2008 5:59:13 PM

Your drive was dead because Newegg still hasn't changed how they handle, pack, and ship thier OEM drives for years. It's a gamble with OEM HDD's from Newegg and several others. Some dealers pack and protect thier OEM drives far better.
Other Thoughts: Your drive ! MORE Than Likely ! ..was damaged out of Western Digital's hands. I'd bet my country's future on it.

@ Newegg - post this unedited and you still have my eternal respect.

Man don't post ignorant ball sheet. Thanks

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great drive, this is my third one and they are fast, quiet and so far SMART is showing error free.
Cons: None on the drive, NewEggs packing leaves a lot to be desired.
Other Thoughts: If you need the drive working the day it arrives you might want to consider shopping elsewhere, somewhere that packs the drive securely. It came wrapped in a single layer of bubble wrap in a box 3/4s full of peanuts. The other drive in the shipment sustained shipping damage.

Great HDD

white Reviewed By: NardoW12 on 11/20/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It's fast, tons of space, and WD drives are very reliable.
I bought 2 of these during summer and put them in Raid-0 setup, very fast, and no problem. Very low noise when not using.

Recently, I bought another one of this drive from Shellshocker, and Newegg improved how they ship OEM drives. The hard drive was in an anti-static bag, wrapped around by some bubble sheet, placed in a small carton box. And then the small carton box was placed in a larger shipping box filled with paper.
Cons: Not as fast as the 640GB, but all 3 750GB Black drives were cheaper than the 640GB version when I got them. Plus you are getting a lot more space for the few MB/s speed you lose, if you are really looking into speed, get some SSDs :)
Other Thoughts: Glad to see how Newegg improved how they ship the OEM hard drives.
