I've never bought this external hard drive, but I bought a different one (from Western Digital), and I had to buy a case for it. So, I'm guessing it doesn't.

You have a good eye. The drive is square in shape 5.5 x 0.5 x 5.5 in. Give or take a a bit on the depth. I don't really move it around much so I haven't considered a case, but I hope the measurements help.

I don't plan on transporting my drive anywhere, so I haven't tried using any cases with it. However based on the descriptions the case you mentioned was designed to fit a drive slightly smaller than the 2TB WD drive you are using. So I would say that you may want to keep looking.

No. It does not come with a carrying case. The set-up and tear down is pretty simple and takes about 10-15 minutes. Hope this helps.

Some people are saying they have received the drive without retail packaging. I really need to order two 2TB drives. I wish there was a way of knowing what they are shipping right now.

It does not come with any drives. You have to buy your own.I put in four 3gig drives. I set it up as raid-5, and it has about 8.2 TB.

As I answered elsewhere, this one does NOT have an optical drive built in. I DO see the drive in one of the pictures on the right side, but on my unit there is a "cover" in that location. The specs for the unit do NOT include an internal optical drive, so it is a bad picture. The cover does not appear to be removable without opening the case, but it does make you wonder if there is a version that includes the drive!

Thank you. I had the same question. When I bought it, I found it came with an enclosure. I don't understand why both WD and Seagate show multiple pictures of the drive opened up. It confuses the buyer, as what you receive is a sealed drive, not an open case. If the case is left open the disk can be damaged very easily. I believe they are actually sealed in a clean room. But many people do not know that, and it does not excuse the poor presentation of this product.

no it does not come with a carrying case. It did however come in an original box. I have looked online for a carrying case, they are hard to come by, but you can find them. i bought a bag which is easier than a case, the hinges always break as do the locks, a bag is just as nice.

Mine came with the backup software already on the drive. It is part of the setup.

I've got the same thing with only airbags from amazon. this is NOT A SAFE way to ship HArd drives. maybe they do it, to ensure that we will be back to buy another HD from them soon, as if they aren't DOA.. they wont last long. lol with that type of shipping.I got 2 seagate 500GB drives from Buy.com both at different times. they were in little boxes. with this cardboard like stuff shaped to HOLD the HD in the air.. then had packaging around them.. it was a great design. and I wish amazon and newegg would do the same!

I ordered mine from Amazon.com (not a third party seller). Mine came in a box. The drive itself was in a static shielded bag, but it was secured in plastic retainers. It looked like this: http://www.thinkcomputers.org/reviews/wd_caviarblack_1tb/1.jpg

It comes with two 1TB drives. I also purchased it during a promotion where I received two additional 1TB drives for a total of 4.

Hi Kevin,This is a Hard Drive Enclosure (cover) no hard drive is included. You must purchase a hard drive separately.

Mine came with a Sandisk drive. Not sure if that is just the assembly I got or the same for all of them.

Most of the HyperDrive products already come with a drive inside - you select the size and you buy it all complete. The SATA Casing, lets you buy the case and accessories, but then purchase your own hard drive to insert in the case. It is a cheaper route, but does require you to be able to purchase a recommended drive and be able to assemble it.

Mine came with one. I have purchased three of these drives, and they have been great!
