Interesting, I've returned a dozen drives to Seagate this year and none of
them have been returned in anything other than an anti-static bag and
bubble wrap.

If I understand correctly what you are talking about I have one on my
desk, I might be able to find another if I have a scavenge but no
promises.
However considering my "standard rate" (plus the usual Popey surcharge)
for providing such things it will probably be cheaper to buy new disks :)

P.S. The one on my desk is Samsung branded as we stopped buying Seagate
drives some time ago.
