I’m not one to argue about HDs and the way they are delivered (since they are fragile by nature, and should be taken care/packed nicely), however this bothers me. Last week I ordered a bulk HD from amazon and I needed it to come next day (was building a system for my friend). Not only was the HD late cause of shipping issues, but it was shipped in a tiny box with virtually no padding in it. I could only image if this was shipped via standard shipping (ground) what it could have looked like.

Luckily I tested the HD out full (took 3 hours or so) and it had no issues. Next time I think I may go with the egg no matter what the price.

Take a look at these pictures…(taken with the iPhone 3GS)
