We really need a sticky with a list of those etailers that pack their hard drives well and those that don't. It would really make purchasing hard drives online a lot easier.
I usually don't buy hard drives from Newegg because they don't pack them right, but I just picked up a WD15EADS from Amazon and the packing was atrocious. I've received books from them packed better, it was just a small bubble wrap baggie. Nothing else.
Good:
ZipZoomFly (styrofoam case, packing nuts).
Bad:
Amazon (small cell bubble wrap baggie)
Newegg (large cell bubble wrap, peanuts)
