I have bought hundreds of OEM drives from NewEgg, all of them have had the plastic shell around them, and so far I've seen a 2% failure rate.
The plastic shell is the way the manufacturers ship them direct to NewEgg, that is not NewEgg's doing.
- hga 17y agoNo, the plastic shelled disks are packed in solid foam in boxes holding something like 20 disks. Companies like NewEgg and Amazon break those boxes but do not follow the manufacturer's requirements (e.g. for shipping a failed disk back to them) when they repack them for individual orders. Last time I bought disks ZipZoomFly properly repacked them by putting the shelled disks into individual foam boxes.
