THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

Best Product

I recently purchased this item for my playstation 3. Installation was easy, fit perfectly. I actually got the drive at a lower cost than when I first started looking at them. It is a good upgrade for the ps3.

Big capacity for small computers

Upgraded my MacBook from 160GB to 500GB. Swapping the HDD is easy enough, just make sure to have a USB to SATA adapter and your 10.6 DVD available to transfer your old drive's image to the new one.
