Please log in for more thread options I've just had a Western Digital SATA drive delivered which appears to be quite dead. It was wrapped in what looks like polythene bubble wrap so I suspect static damage. Aren't WD disks normally shipped in an anti-static bag? Phil | ||||||||||||||||||||||

No one ships bubble wrap from the factory anymore. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

No anti-static bag, no moisure absorbing gel pack, no jumpers, ne screws, no "congratulations on buying..", no anti-static or installation notes. Definitely going back. Phil | ||||||||||||||||||||||
