806873 2009-10-27 02:01:00 Does anyone know if they really care much about packaging?

They do make quite a thing of it, and say to use only thick foam or their special Seagate plastic packaging containers. They also say do not use bubble wrap, newspaper etc.

As I don't have foam or their special containers, I was just going to use a decent few layers of bubble wrap with double cardboard outer protection.

Yeah they don't mind too much. Make an effort, but you don't need to go overboard. I normally use a HDD bag, wrapped in bubble wrap in a small box with some foam.
