The HDD is in perfect working order, and it was packaged extremely well! First thing I did upon receiving it was check the S.M.A.R.T. data, and it has VERY low power-on-hours. Only a couple hundred, which is basically brand new. There are ZERO pending sectors, reallocated sectors, or other problems. Because this is an enterprise drive with a target of 2 million hours mean-time-before-failure, I have high hopes for its longevity.
