PSA: This is an OEM drive meaning Newegg will just toss it in its Mylar envelope into a cardboard box with airbags that do nothing to really pad it.
I just received my 12 TB drive from the deal Monday and was saddened to feel it bouncing around inside the box. I thought they'd skipped padding, but when opening it found it was filled with airbags, but rather than put one down, place the drive on it, then cover it with a bag, they just dropped it in the box and filled with bags above it. Maybe it was properly wrapped and it wriggled its way out, but it's didn't arrive securely.
Then a half-hour later, my Best Buy order for the same drive that I paid $45 more for arrived and while they skipped airbags, the drive was in full retail packaging. As much as I'm loathe to overpay, you can't skimp on the integrity of your data storage and will likely return the NE drive.

yup, this is exactly why i stopped buying HDDs from Newegg well over a decade ago... their shipping practices are just horrid, always have been.
