Newegg and Amazon don't package sensitive equipment properly. Not looking for a vendor who ships in a small box with the item in one layer of bubble wrap or in a big box with a couple air pillows on one side of the item. I'm totally willing to.pay extra for proper packaging.
The last HDD I got from Newegg was in an antistatic bag, a bulk and not a retail drive, wrapped in one layer of thin bubble wrap and rattling around in a very small box. They might as well have shipped the drive in a padded envelope. The drive was failing upon install.
Where do you buy your HDD's? And no, an SSD, while mire resilient to.abuse, would not be ideal for what I need it.
I can get the drive I want directly from Dell. Does anybody know how Dell packages the drives?
