I just bought an 18 TB HGST drive from newegg, actually sold by Platinum Micro. (Amazing price for 18 TB). I've read about how some OEM drives are shipped very badly. This one was shipped top of the line. Platic "holders" on each end of the drive. Box was sized exactly to fit the drive.

I bought nine 14tb hgst drives from newegg over a couple months last year, they all came packaged like that, I am keeping the emptys for reuse when the 14s get replaced.
the boxes are sized well for holding small stuff securely, so I am using 2 of the boxes for that, with the plastic supports and esd bags in one of the emptys in the draw

I got the same boxes when I ordered the 2 6 TB seagate exos drives from newegg back in 2019. I also saved them if I ever have to RMA a drive.
