Brand new drive. I got it partitioned then when I when to format it did nothing. It did nothing for a long time and it kept doing nothing. It spins up but even bios doesn’t see the drive now.
I bought this hard drive through Amazon.com . The packaging isn’t really secure. The box itself is solid and had a pretty good set of cardboard pieces to hold the hard drive in place but it had no secure type of seal to indicate if the box had ever been opened. I mean who knows, Someone could have opened it, dropped the hard drive and placed it back inside. No way to tell. I have contacted Amazon and awaiting response. OEM packaging
First time for me since I usually buy OEM. First time from Amazon though and like I said I wasn’t impressed by the packaging. Newegg packages them decently and Dell better.

Anyway they already sent out a replacement by UPS 2 day but the snow has kept UPS from being able to deliver it here.
The drives and the quality behind them have taken a serious nose dive…
Here’s one for you.
I have a 250GB HD, it failed after 6 months. Paided for shipping and received the “Recertified” one, that one failed after 3 months.
Now they want me to pay AGAIN for a replacement… Go with Seagate or Hitachi, being in I.T and I promise you this company or any other company I go to will not buy Western Digital HD’s
