I don't have mine still, but it was definitely retail packaging. Something inside to hold it in place and then a box around it all. Pretty nice, really.

Mine was not new, it is refurbished. But this was included in the item description. It did come in original box packed professionally and securely. It works great and its hard to believe its not brand new.

Yes, it even came in an original box. It's working great; I've been quite happy with it.

The one I bought from Amazon was retail packing in the original box. Bulk packing does not always mean the item is coming in its original packaging. Make sure uou are able to return it for a refund if you have issues.

I ordered the 1TB for a friend a few months ago and I'm pretty sure it came in retail packaging. I would guess 2TB would come Retail too.

It comes in original retail packaging. It's a simple low maintenance design.

Edward,The two I bought were in original, un-opened packaging. At Amazon, you can get new and used.Dave

I received a 2TB Hitachi on June 29th, 2010, and it was RETAIL packaging. I ordered direct from Amazon, not a reseller. I had no issues with the drive, and it is still running strong. It seems that some of the 1 star reviewers later in July got non-Retail boxes. I bought mine when Hitachi was offering a rebate, so I bet Amazon sold out of Retail packaged units by the time July rolled around. Looks like they have the item under investigation now...probably for the packaging.

No, I just put mine back in the original packaging. Not optimal but it works

that's the only way I would except one as I ordered one and it came in just a small plastic box, not the retail package and I just sent it back to amazon for a full refund and made sure the 2nd try that the site I purchased from showed and said retail packaging for my money...

Not sure what condition you bought yours in, but mine came with both of these.

Mine came packaged new. If yours was not packed, something is wrong and you should complain to the seller; unless you purchased one used.

Mine came with its original box opened. Communicated with the seller and confirmed they had to open it to unlock. I've sent it back due to a lack of this information in their description.Ordered another one from ebay and it also came with its box opened. So, count on it.
