Newegg Fail

Very Quiet, Pretty fast and runs cooler than my WD or Seagate drives.

None so far. See other thoughts.

I purchased 2 Drives. 1 drive good 1 drive DOA. Newegg Packing FAIL. No bubble wrap on either of THE DRIVES. I felt and heard them sliding around. The drive that was DOA had the static bag torn because of sliding around. I ran the other drive for 38 hrs. of testing. It was perfect. no bad blocks. NOT HAPPY because this is recurring theme with Newegg...

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Are these really Hitachi?

A few of the six I bought might work.

At least two of the six I purchased are DOA. There may be more. I'm running Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test on each of them now to verify.

These are garbage. I've bought at least 20 other Hitachis in the past without a single DOA. Two of six being DOA is disgusting. I'll probably RMA them all at this rate.
