What your saying that a hard disk in a sealed pack is less reliable?.

Depends on how it has been handled. I have used suppliers in the past
that supplied new disks in a jiffy bag! (as opposed to the proper shock
protecting padded drive boxes)

a.k.a. CPC - who leave them loose in a big box with a load of other stuff
- well, quite often anyway.

I think an outfit called A2Z was the worst I found - literally posting
in a jiffy bag with no other protection. At least with CPC you get a box
- just remember not to order a club hammer in the same order ;-)
