1) The disks are refurbished (not new), is also at the end of the offer description. I had it there but ignored.
2) The hard drives were only in anti-static bag and then packed in slightly padded envelopes. Then in an Amazon Pack envelope. This is not a sensible package. The seller pointed out that Amazon is responsible at this point ...
3) The hard drives are not lowlevel formatted on Win7 USB port the hard drive is not recognized. Linux users have at this point, however, no problems.
Should the packaging have been improved by now, is a star more no problem.
The seller has responded quickly and friendly to requests!
