How many come in a case/box? I'm looking to purchase in bulk. Western Digital WD800BB 80GB UDMA/100 7200RPM 2MB IDE Hard Drive

One. And why would you even want to buy in bulk? This is an older drive. Not even new, its refurbished. The really only purpose I found to buy this drive is to keep an old system running for another year or so before completely replacing it. You can get more by just increasing the order number.

That is the theory of a RAID 5. I had a 4TB drive fail after a month on duty. Western Digital immediately sent me a new one, I plugged it in and it took about four days to re-establish the full RAID. My 16TB with 12 TB usable space on RAID 5 was loaded with 4TB of records. So, if you want to upgrade your system one drive at a time, better be patient.

Yes, the drives come with the standard 1 year warranty from Western Digital

Before I bought mine, I checked the Buffalo website. It can vary depending on when you buy it and the size drives you get. Mine came with Western Blue drives.

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 just bought 4 of these and all 4 were made 20 sep. 2014. When I registered them with WD they gave 5 years warranty from the date of purchase which I listed as the day that I received them here. They were individually packaged very nicely in WD boxes with plastic shock protection supports on both ends of the drive.

Yes - and basically, it's whichever WD Green SATA drive is plentiful inventory-wise at the build time for these enclosures, so it varies from batch to batch. But they're all in the same category of performance and specs. I've gone through 4 of them just to harvest the drives as they're typically a little less cost than the bare drive at some vendors.

Robert, The Certified Servers team appreciates your question. This particular listing comes with (4) 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives.

Diskless does not come with any hard drives in it, if one is advertised as 12 gb it has the actual drives installed in it, diskless you have to buy your own.

I don't know, but I am no longer buying any more WD hard drives. All the ones that have crashed and burned are, guess who? I have other brands that have lasted 8 years. Even the so called white lables that are generic from WD crashed within one year. No more WD.

I have eight Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB WD30EZRZ in mine and they work great. They recommend 3TB, but I know of friends that are using 4TB.

They REFUSE to state it! Slimy! From the WD support site: Q: "What kind of hard drive is inside a Western Digital external product?" A: "We can only guarantee drive capacity. We cannot guarantee a particular internal hard drive model, data interface, rotational speed, or cache size in the external hard drive enclosure." http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1704/p/209,488/session/L3RpbWUvMTQ0MDkyMTE3NC9zaWQvX1REbVRidm0%3D

As someone mentioned, WD Purple is specifically designed for your exact purpose. As far as brands go, I have found WD to be extremely reliable.Search this one on Amazon if you still need a hard drive. At the moment a 2TB WD Purple is also under $100:WD 2 TB WD Purple SATA III Intellipower 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM AV Hard Drive 2 sata_6_0_gb 64 MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare or OEM Drives WD20PURX

I too have 4 Western Digital Red 3TB drives in mine. No problems. Assuming that your drives are the same physical size as these, you should be OK.

It shows up as two physical drives 0 and 1 at 1 TB ea, further partitioned into 500 GB ea C-D-E-F. Haven't pulled it apart to see if in fact they are separate drives. 100% screaming machine but the drives are probably 75% screaming.

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

All the drives I received are model WD20EARS-00MVWB0. So far they work great. I am running them in SansDigital TR8M(-B)P in JBOD configuration. So far zero problems, I will probably pickup 5 more to get a total of 16TB.
