Don't get the thumb down, Newegg has been known to ship hard drives in not so good packaging and in general being really hard to deal with with when it comes to returns.
I'd ordered this drive for $225 from Best Buy on Sunday then discovered this deal on Monday, so I rebought it from Newegg and it's going to arrive before the BB one. Yes, Newegg is now evil and all that, but I'm not going to eat $45+tax to spite them.
Very nice price.. but I am skipping too because it is from Newegg. I will never buy anything as fragile as HDD from Newegg due to their notorious packaging issues, returning process, and customer service.

And that's probably a reason other sites like Amazon aren't price matching NewEgg because they are not a reputable site any longer. Cheap prices do not matter if you receive something that doesn't work and you can't return it and get your money back.

Well, you CAN get a refund. They just require you to be an influencer lol
I didn't catch that 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.
Mine came in a small box with padding that looks like it's meant to house a hard drive. The box was just big enough to keep the HDD padding from moving around.
Newegg poorly packaged my 14 TB drive, and either they or UPS handled it roughly. The box didn't look obviously damaged from the outside, and I thought all was well. When I plugged the drive-in later it was DOA, and I discovered an impact mark on it and a small cut in the cardboard box and the corner of the untaped bubble wrap envelope. Neither NewEgg nor UPS would replace the drive because I was outside of their individual return windows, even though one or both of them obviously screwed up and killed my expensive drive before I could ever use it.
