Plain and simple. According to feedback on Newegg the drives are simply not packaged properly for shipping. These are delicate devices that, when roughed up (think UPS) the chances that they will...

Awesome! What kind of RAID are you going to use? Is it going to be a true server with a dedicated cpu or is it going to be more akin to a NAS? I have been enjoying Windows 8's homeshare setup and...

Hitachi and WD contracted with each other last year so that these drives should be based on WD equipment and tech.

Seems like a pretty good deal? The cheapest price I found for a 2tb in recent were Seagates back in November.
Does anyone have a test routine to ensure the drive isn't damage/defective?

Can't imagine why you'd want to run Server 2k8 for just that. In fact, for your planned usage, a dedicated RAID5 card is probably overkill (as you're going to run a torrent server, I'm assuming this...

There isn't really any correlation at the base level. The issue is with heat generation. Higher RPM drives generate more heat than those of lower spindle speeds. Thus, if there isn't enough cooling...

No, this is a 3.5" drive (the physical size of the drive). Laptops take 2.5" drives.

I ordered a pair of oem reds. They came in just plastic anti static bags. The box had construction paper packing holding them in place. Both worked perfectly.

You probably need a 2.5. Some laptops that ar very slim and are not using ssd use a 1.8 profile.

Actually that article is not quite correct (it doesn't indicate what 3.5" tech is being sold to Toshiba by WD, and so it's easy to infer that it's talking about WD tech).
