Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB Hard Drive Received

YAY, I just received my new shiny Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB Hard Drive. I ordered it from overclockers.co.uk, and I was kind of scared because I read a lot of reviews online saying that overclockers are uber-crap. But whatever, I decided to order to test it out. I ordered 29th March, paying with credit card online in their shop. I pay, and then I see the order of my status as “Security Verification”. Ok, security verification, fine…. I check the next day and still security verification, WTF? I send them an email (on Monday) and they reply in a couple of hours saying that my hard drive is ready for shipping tomorrow. So I’m asking myself, “tomorrow?”. But, its Monday, why can’t you just send it on Monday, its the first day of the week, so again, WTF. The other part is that overclockers had a service to pick the date of delivery, so I picked Thursday, and surprise surprise, it came today, on Friday. This is international shipping, but still, they should compensate for the delays in their online form. I’m attaching some pictures of the unpacking. As of now, the drive is still formatting, and is at 23%.

Also, I will soon write an article about my previous hard drive that I ordered and had to send back, it was a Samsung 750GB F1.
