OEM or retail? Retail disks have better packaging, but I bought OEM disks.

Mine came in plastic egg cartons with a few packing peanuts. I'm surprised they didn't shatter on their way across the country.

OEM, never retail since retail is always more expensive. Yep, same plastic egg cartons with a ton of packaging peanuts. Received 8 1 TB drives.
