Review: Received new unformatted drive sealed in shielding bag - I was worried about the complaints of used or DOA drives being sent in the reviews. What I received was a brand-new drive all shiny and sealed in a bag with desiccant. It was defiantly unformatted when received. I formatted it and started using it in minutes.
