Is this hard drive in original packing or sold Bare?

This is an OEM drive, no retail packaging. It will likely come bare in a box. But in my experience they are well packed.

They never show the back cover of the drive in the photos - no wonder there is so much confusion. Open the drive and the warranty is void. They shipped SEALED from the atmosphere, be sure of that.

No it's a blank hard drive. You will need to format to what ever operating system u are using.

If I remember correctly, it was a new drive but not in the manufacturer's packaging.

I purchased five of these drives in March and they appeared to be factory new drives in original packaging. All five drives have been working in a 24/7 environment with no problems.

Don't recall. But drive failed within a year or so after purchase (18 months max) , so I wouldn't recommend you buy it.

It is a marketing thing. They all show the internals to the disk. When you get a new one it is sealed.

First: do not open the drive until you check the warranty with WD. If the drive was made for HP or Dell good luck. Since my drive was still sealed I was able to send it back to the seller and they paid shipping. If I had to buy another drive I will go to Newegg.com.

I ordered this drive in March. The package included this HDD and the SATA cable. The HDD by itself was in a aptly sized box with foam above and below. This is the same way Dell ships their HDDs too. Looks good to me.

Yes it is......BUT.....Be careful in replacing it, as some tear a White and pink wire, and short a Pinunto the chip that sits underneath the drive......NO Pressure... just a slight tug to remove, anda slight shove in replacing the new driveSam/Username75/KO6JQ

No the drive is completely enclosed, but you should check to see if your unit is EIDE (ATA) or SATA (serial ATA) adapters are available should you need one.

I ordered the 80g from Rakuton, it was shipped from Referbished PC and worked only two days. I am really not sure what the hard drive actually is.

the drive i bought was sold by amazon and was in a sealed package. the first thing i did before opening it was to verify the serial # with wd's website. this has happened to me once before, i sent it back & got reimbursed, but had to pay shipping. always make shure it is OEM product so you get the warranty.

yes it was new. I believe it has a 1 year warranty. this one showed up on win 7 as two hard drives. 300 gig and then 100 mb. you have to go into disk management and change the partitions. its a good hard drive.

It is closed and sealed, ready to put into your laptop. The hard drives are often shown (senselessly) as if you could see their internal parts, you will not.

What i got was a brand new drive but i think only with 1 year warranty. It Works perfectly..
