Ordered a Seagate 8TB last week, arrived yesterday double boxed, but no foam, shipping clamshell or even bubble wrap. Just a plain brown cardboard box in a slightly larger box. It didn't rattle. It was sealed in a anti stat bag. I unwrapped it and plugged it in. Did a quick format and proceeded to copy data from 2 x 4TB drives, left it overnight. Got back to it 20 hours later and found it had only copied 600GB. Ran Seatools on it, failed on DST. Passed SMART.
Can not understand what the company was thinking. What a waste.
I've requested a RMA.
