Delivery was quick, however packaging was inadequate. It's a miracle there was no apparent damage, despite a dented cardboard box and next to no padding to protect the drives I odered.
In addition, the drives are OEM drives with no warrenty from WD. This was not specified on the Box website.

So far the drive has been suprisingly quiet for an enterprise HDD which is great. Arrived within 24 hours, that's some serious express shipping.
