Hi Everybody,
I am considering building a new box. One of the components I am looking
at is
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148395
What do they mean by "bare drive"? Do some of them have clothes on? Or
maybe the little jumpers that you set the pins with come separately?
The last time I did this I got it all at the corner computer parts
store. Now that store and all like it have gone under.
I remember the case had a little bag of stuff that you mostly didn't
need. Still have it somewhere.

Regards,
Pete

your own for that it looks like...

Just the drive. No rails. Probably no screws. No backup software. May
or may not include configuration software (which I rarely use anyway).
Check the feedback, looks like a lot of QA issues from Seagate are being
reported on this drive.
NewEgg is a good place to get stuff from. But I am SO glad I'm back in So
Cal where I can go to Fry's or a dozen other computer stores and pick up
hardware locally again. :)
HTH,
Lou

Most large drive manufacturers release products to third parties that
package them and sell them retail. If you buy a bare bones drive
directly form the OEM manufacturer, it come unformatted, without any
instructions, no jumpers, cables, etc, and is just a bare drive. You
would need to know how to put the drive into the computer, connect it to
the motherboard, jumper it, provide all cables, etc. Information on the
drive is available on the internet or manufacturer, btw. You would need
to have software that could find the drive, partition it, and format the
drive, (eg put a file systems on one or more partitions).
A bare bones drive coming from the OEM manufacturer is less expensive
that one coming from an OEM third party; because, there is less
investment in the bare bone drive; although, the actual drives
themselves are identical in all other respects.

LelandJ

No cables, no box, no instructions, no screws. Just the "bare drive" in
a static-prevent bag.
Buy them by the box full all the time. Works great.
