Storage Solutions WD Hard Drive arrives without packaging :|

[kvikram]

Today I got the WD20EZRX 2TB internal hard drive that I ordered from Amazon.in. Oddly, there was no official packaging. The only packaging was this anti-static cover protected under a load of bubble wrap in the box. There was no official WD box or anything like that.

Here's the Amazon link to the drive: http://www.amazon.in/Western-Digita...=UTF8&qid=1402120735&sr=8-1&keywords=wd20ezrx

Have I been cheated, or is this normal? Have they sent me a refurbished unit or something?

It's part of a bulk package... Nothing wrong with it

On a different note, is it better to pick these or 3TB Seagate HDDs for 7K? I guess those are 7.2k rpm drives. Might be building a NAS.

Dont worry mate. Just make sure you check its serial no. & warranty on WD website and register your product.
Sellers ship the products as is without any extra packaging unless asked for. I hope they should at least care for such delicate things...

It is a standard packing for an internal drive. Even if you are getting a drive from a local shop, you will get one like this only!
