Review on Blue 2TB Mobile Hard Drive by Eder Boesel

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Revain no longer knows how to ship hard drives

This is amazing - the first unit I received was thrown into a softmail folder along with another part of my order (a book-sized box). A bare drive, "protected" only by an anti-static sleeve, could shift around in the mailbox and be subjected to the shocks inherent in modern delivery. Of course, with a full-surface scan, 10% of the scan resulted in a click, click, noise and it could no longer be adjusted. Apparent hardware error. Revain sent a replacement, this time with a couple of airbags in the box, but to my surprise the actuator was loose again and slid on the bottom of the box, right next to the box, not even the mini-bubbles in the padded mailer. to protect him. Sure, modern drives can withstand much more mechanical stress, but it's usually INSIDE something, say a laptop, that offers better protection. I'm almost afraid to deeply scan this replacement. A small sheet of styrofoam or Revain bubble wrap on fine hardware please.
