I bought two of these on the

I bought two of these on the original deal (they’re running it again with promo code EMCKDHB22).  Still waiting for those rebates to come through of course.

They both work, though while one was packed in bubble wrap inside a white box, the other was just thrown in to the shipping box in its anti-static bag.  Odd that they’d pack the two differently.

I realize I’m living dangerously with these, I’ve had two of their 1TB models die on me (the second was a replacement for the first), but I was using those in an external enclosure and I don’t think they liked being moved around much.   The reviews on these don’t seem any worse that what I’m seeing of the Seagate or WD drives anyway.
