does it actually contain a HD?? At no point is this clear.

All that the kit contains is the cable, screws, rubble nubs, and small bag of parts to disassemble and reassemble the mini.

No, I bought it and a ssd. I took the Mac mini apart and put a 120 ssd with the 1 ter hdd that came with the mac. Mac created turbo boost so they work together like one large ssd. It's fast and worth it.

I don't know because I don't have any experience with that. It looks like the difference is the HD is a little thicker. Can't go wrong with either, especially considering the price.

It does, but I do not recommend buying!! I have had much better luck with a "WD My Passport" harddrive.

That raises the question: What is the "proper packaging" for this drive? And the corollary question: How do you know it when you see it? What I do know is that mine has worked without a qualm since I bought it.

No, the drive is sealed of course. Bare means it comes without the retail packaging which includes all the cables and screws etc. If you have that stuff anyway, a bare drive which is just the drive is the better deal. The retail packaging costs extra money.

Doubt it. They don't really do that anymore, and it's not listed under the "What's in the box" section. More likely it comes with a restore partition.

Really? Mine came with no disc and I bought a 64 gig. Check out the manual.

No, you would never expect to have anything pre-installed on a bare drive like this. Formatted maybe, but usually not. Completely empty.

It is a marketing thing. They all show the internals to the disk. When you get a new one it is sealed.

I don't think there's a reliable answer because I think WD puts in whatever drive is available. I haven't heard WD give any answer to this question. It's really slow, so it may be a 5400 drive.

You are smarter than me because I'm not sure what an HDD is? Assuming it's another disc drive it appears on the outside it could be, but I have no idea what's on the inside behind the plastic face.

Depending on the listing it could be either. My particular device is SSD, but it also can come with HDD.

Hard Drive wqrranties start as of the data of Manufacture. I have no idea about the whether this is the actual drive or a stock photo. I could only guess it is a photo of the actual drive.

This unit has a 1TB HDD. The 1GB listed is an error. A request has been made to have it corrected.

No it's a blank hard drive. You will need to format to what ever operating system u are using.

Yes mine is not a HD. The only problem I have is the bottom touch is hard to use unless you move it up and then down. It is a nice cover.

There are four separate 'hard drives': two are SSD and two are HDD. So they appear as C, D, E, and F. The total 'bytes' is about what they advertised. But I was surprised. If you are expecting one large 'hard drive', all the bytes in C, then you will also be surprised.
