Companies Unclear On The Concept

I know well what happens; I worked with a guy who worked at the Fedex Chicago hub through school. He had some interesting stories to tell. :laugh: But it's still extreme overkill, and further, this package fits inside a larger package that serves as a display rack. It's delivered on a pallet, shrink-wrapped and strapped. I've seen missiles shipped with less protection...

I just bought another WD MyBook 1 TB drive; I love the product, but have to laugh at the packaging. I know they mean well, with all materials made of recycled products, but the sheer volume of packaging[^] is appalling. A simple box ( of recycled paper paper, of course ) would have done nicely, with maybe a layer of bubble wrap inside to protect against shipping shock. :laugh: I commend them for the effort, but I think it's time for a reality check.

WD is to packaging as Roger is to pixels. That picture is wider than *both* my screens put together!

Mechanical HDs aren't designed to operate in an environment with multiple g accelerations. Missles have more of their shock absorbing ability built internally.
3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
HD's with heads in rest position are amazingly resistant. However, missiles are better equipped to defend themselves - even the worst UPS manhandler (boxhandler?) will carefully place a missile :cool:
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]
