Just a heads up to any of you making a tech purchase: My Office ordered a set of 5 WD 1.0TB OEM hard drives for a fairly decent price from e-cost.com. I am not too sure about the specifics of the purchase, but all I know is that the drives came in large box and sparsely bubble-wrapped.
We decided to test all of them with WD Diagnostics, only to find that 2 drives failed, 2 were already formatted to NTFS, and one came preloaded with hidden files (one of them was a virus).
