My second one - great price but what is different is the Amazon packaging. Looks like they have listened to their customers. It cam in a perfect small package lined with foam and fitted it perfectly. WD are the business - great drive.



EDIT Purchased on 15 July 2015 now 19th June 2017. I have not used it hardly at all - I just store photos and videos etc which are rarely accessed. Today - started my machine and my Asus BIOS informed me of S.M.A.R.T. error on the drive. Managed to get booted into Windows (Boot Drive is SSD). Windows prompting me to back up the files on that drive, 'Hard Dick Sentinnel' informing of imminent drive failure, 'Failure Predicted' Errors occurred while reading raw data from disk indicates problem with disk surface.



FURTHER EDIT

Tried to get support from Western Digital - put serial number in and it said it was 'OEM' and to go back to supplier. I thought 'oh well! that's money down the drain.' Then, on the off chance I decided to contact Amazon. Big surprise for me here - no messing about and as always - superb support. They said this is unacceptable and immediately refunded my money and sent me a free postage return label, and said that they would take it up with the manufacturer. That is top class support after having owned it for nearly two years.
