QUOTE(vearn27 @ Oct 25 2008, 11:38 AM) Isn't that Western Digital also providing such similar anti-shock packaging when they send back a HDD to customer after RMA?  I did not do any RMA before *touchwood  * but I remember once I bought a 2nd hand HDD from a forumer and he passed to me inside a Western Digital RMA packaging like the one mADmAN posted  they do??? cool... ive only had 1 experience RMAing a WD HDD...and that one i sent to the shop so it came back to me (after about a month) with just an anti static bag....i guess u only get this kinda service if u send back directly to the manufacturer

They'll provide such anti-shock packaging while couriering it to your place if you deal directly with them. Beside the need to save cost, need to be environment friendly as well

I RMAed quite a number of WD HDD before and none came back with a box. All of them always come back with a Anti Static bag only

My Fujitsu running for 3 years, and still going strong. SMART data shows it is good health. A bit hard to get for the desktop, but worth the reliability. Speed does leave a little to be desired through.
