Drive manufacture date was 2015 and it was heat sealed into an ESD safe package and then put into a snug bubble mailer. The seller cares, but Amazon shipment center may not, so your mileage may vary.

Drive manufacture date was 2015 and it was heat sealed into an ESD safe package and then put into a snug bubble mailer. The seller cares, but Amazon shipment center may not, so your mileage may vary.
I was concerned about the 7mm vs. normal 9.5mm thickness, this being my first 7mm. I worry sometimes about miniaturization because it often seems to come from making things "cheaper" and less sturdy, and less durable and reliable. But sometimes it comes from using superior materials, greater simplicity with fewer moving parts, brilliant engineering and manufacturing advancements. Whatever the case, the drive fits perfectly into the existing caddy, using the existing screws, which is good because it doesn't come with any screws.
This is a "bare" drive with no documentation. So what, these days even the retail packages for many electronics products include nothing but a piece of paper describing how bad the warranty is. Seagate provides good support and supporting software from their afore mentioned website.
Perhaps the most worrisome thing about buying a hard drive online is the packaging and shipping. Hard drives are expensive, delicate and fragile, highly precision devices. Yet some sellers put them in a sandwich bag, thrown loosely into an envelope, where they will spend days being tossed, dropped, crushed, and bouncing around in one truck to another. Then deposited somewhere in the vicinity of your front door, where they may as well put a "steal me" sign on it. They are no longer given the time to even ring the doorbell as a notification. That would mean taking the risk of a "chat" which, cumulatively, could result in expensive overtime and termination of employment.
I am most pleased with the packaging of this drive. Better, I must say, than some of the retail packaging of many new drives. which has become less substantial in recent years. Inside the Amazon box with its air-filled pillows, the Seagate box is sturdy and an couple inches larger than the drive all around. The drive was securely kept in place within the center of the box by resilient impact cushioning holders on front and back. Very well done!
UPDATE: I am writing this update on my laptop that is running on this very hard drive! I was able to use a hard drive clone program, to clone my old hard drive onto this new one and then just swap them out. So I did not have to reinstall all my software on the new one, and I am sure that saved me days of time! However, the process was very complex and I backed all my files up first onto a external hard drive incase the process went bad, because if you do it wrong it will erase the data on the old hard drive and it is gone. I don't remember what software I used to do it, or even if I am using the right terms for it, but what I do know is this hard drive has worked perfect and for my HP Laptop is had been great! If you are buying this because your laptop is telling you that your current hard disk is going to crash soon (that is what my HP was telling me) then I would suggest you backup all your files before you take it somewhere or attempt to do a clone of your hard drive first because if you or the company you take it to, does it wrong, you would lose all the files on your old hard drive.
