I'm going to be buying some HDD's (10) in the very near future, tomorrow or Thurs. and have heard some horror stories in regards to NewEgg's HDD packaging so I am a bit leery to buy them from them. Anybody have any recommendations? ZipZoomFly? Others? Or am I over worrying.
 
I bought 8x 750 GB HD's for my colo'd server from newegg and 7 1TB drives for my home system from there and only one was packaged poorly. I haven't had any issues with HD's shipped from newegg (yet).

edit:
Sometimes frys has really good prices on drives and they are retail packaged. I would suggest frys if they have good prices.
 
I just got my 1TB Spinpoint from Newegg today and was really not happy with the packaging. Luckily it works. People have had good luck with ZipZoomFly.com.
 
Yeah zipzoom fly has a nice styrofoam packing enclosure, similar to something a harddrive company would require you to send a drive being rma.
