Is this drive sold in a retail box or is it just the bare drive?

It comes in a brown cardboard box with professional shock absorption, wrapped in an anti-static bag, in the box. It does not come in pretty shelf packaging for retail. We have 8 of them in a NAS.

Is a thumping noise common for the 4tb red WD pro?

The only normal sounds should be disk spinning up. If you hear any thumping or knocking, that's where you possibly have a defective drive.
