I expect from Amazon to offer reliable products with no bugs. Of course I expect good packing too. Amazon should be more careful with these issues. Exhanging a failed drive is not as exchanging any other product. One fills the drive with business, design or other information that at least needs to be destroyed before a (failed) drive is sent for replacement. And if the data in the drive is unique, having exchanged a $ 200 drive is nothing compared to the thousands of $$ that data recovery may cost. I hope this comment is not “censored” and it is posted.

Purchased this drive to replace a 500GB in a 07 iMac. The installer puts it in, and it fails the Apple Hardware tests every time. Bad drive out of the box. . . Buyer beware Rating: 1 / 5

This isn’t a review of the drive since I didn’t even install it because it was packaged so poorly and obviously subjected to shock. It was shipped inside a box with 2 thin air packages to cushion it. The air packages either deflated or burst because the drive was rattling around loosely inside the box when it got here. The drive itself came inside a thin clamshell package which had shattered at several points. There’s no point buying an enterprise class drive if it’s going to get thrown loosely into a cardboard box and then shipped to you.
I use amazon a lot and the company is fantastic, but I won’t be buying OEM drives from amazon anymore unless they change their packaging. If you must buy a drive from amazon, get one that comes in retail packaging. Those are padded against impact at least.
Amazon, if you’re reading these, I took pictures so you can see for yourself how it was packaged.

I had two hard drives installed in my desktop computer. My system disk crashed after 14 months of operation. (The data reading head broke despite the fact I have never moved my computer) yesterday after 18 months of operation my second hard drive crashed. I assume that is the same reason. Fortunatelly I have a backup, but this porudt is a waste of money. Rating: 1 / 5
