Return it. If it works lifespan will be greatly diminished.

Dang, that’s an expensive pop tart.

Need to check the box that says ship in Amazon packaging, it’s unchecked by default. If left to “Manufacturers” packing to save on packing, this is what you’ll get, unfortunately.

Never, ever, ever order hard drives from Amazon.
They are THE WORST.

I can tell you as an Amazon worker, it probably had a bike thrown on it, envelopes and bags get treated the worst, only good for clothes.

Like others are saying, immediate return to Amazon. Donāt get a replacement, get a refund, and buy it from either a reputable seller or bought and shipped by Amazon

I believe that’s called frustration-free packaging

For once, that assgarbage corpo saved you from using a Seagate.

Buy from serverpartdeals their packaging is stellar and the enterprise hard drives will probably last you more than this one.

Today i also received my HDD, ALSO a seagate (2 tb barracuda), the packaging was very much the same. I think this is more a Seagate issue than anything else.
Im from Argentina btw, we dont have amazon, we have the latin american equivalent an it was also a reputable seller.

Probably pulled from a tray of drives intended for bulk purchasing. We bulk buy ironwolfs for our archivers at work and they come on big trays individually bagged like this.

Mine came like this when it showed up, working fine the fifth year already.

Fucking LOL.
Does Seagate have social media? If so, you should share the photo with them.

Stop buying from Amazon.

Yeah, I had the same thing happen to me multiple times. Also, they’re usually old and past their warranty date (since Seagate goes by date of manufacture), so you don’t even get that even if listed in the description on Amazon’s website.

You bought a seagate, on purpose?
Havoc_Maker
Nah man they really just slapped the hard drive into an anti-static bag and called it a day **ā ļø**

This was a 3rd party seller but Amazon themselves are just as awful. They shipped an XG7 waterblock in the retail box in the middle of Canadian winter.

Don’t buy expensive and/or fragile pc parts from Amazon. Worked there, seen stuff. Wouldn’t recommend.
firestar268
Lemme guess. Third party? If so. It’s hardly Amazon’s fault. The one so get from Amazon are always well packed (so far)

I was a Quality Engineer working for a PC manufacturer. My eyes are bleeding. WTF?

Iāve been getting more and more ānewā items sold by Amazon that look to be used and repackaged carefully.
Anymore when it comes to hardware and sensitive things I use Newegg, even if itās a tad more. I actually just ordered this exact hard drive to expand my media server lol

I just received my 14tb sea gate exos drive from serverpartdeals. It was shipped in a layer of bubble wrap in the box containing another box with bubble sleeve around the heat-sealed static envelope. Plus it was definitely a better deal than Amazon with warranty.
