I ordered 2 hard disks received in bubble bags in a carton. Neither disks worked unpacking. (Tested with an external USB adapter or directly installed in a PC) This joins many other comments on the package. Finally I returned the two hard disks and I have recommended the same model in LDCL, a little more with the delivery. Disk received in a specific cardboard calle HDD, works flawless. Moreover it seems that Amazon does not specify that this version "bulk" without any packaging.
