Does the hard drive come with a cover over the disk, or is it open like it shows in the picture?

It is covered. It is not like the picture. The drive is made to go inside of your computer. It is not an external drive.

The hard drive is fully covered in a metal case, it is not open like the picture.

I haven't tried to open it, but I believe it to be permanently sealed. It is however a very sturdy external drive. My only complaint is that it can only be used as a backup drive, not as a regular external hard drive.

It was an open box. Contents where the mobo, instructions sheet, installation disc, and a few SATA cables.

Hello James, i haven't opened the box as yet but it doesn't say on the box whether or not it has a hard drive. I don't think it has one though.

Hi Kevin,This is a Hard Drive Enclosure (cover) no hard drive is included. You must purchase a hard drive separately.

the drive i bought was sold by amazon and was in a sealed package. the first thing i did before opening it was to verify the serial # with wd's website. this has happened to me once before, i sent it back & got reimbursed, but had to pay shipping. always make shure it is OEM product so you get the warranty.

I ordered the 1TB for a friend a few months ago and I'm pretty sure it came in retail packaging. I would guess 2TB would come Retail too.

I just answered your question about the StarTech hard drive enclosure and then realized your question is about the enclosure. What kind of hard drive did you put in it?

It does have small cover as shown. It is split around theedges so the keyboard slides open. I love mine especiallythe color.

Hello I think it has the clear cover and it connects to the hard body then a rubbery sleeve and there are little rubber pieces that protect the ports. It's my sons and we put it on months ago so I kinda forgot but its real easy to assembly and really rugged.

NO it does not. You can't see it in the picture but the part where the screws go is raised and the ports on the hard drive do not line up with the ports inside the tray.

The one I ordered came with a 1tb hard drive. It is installed inside the main unit. There is another model that doesn't come with a hard drive, but there is a list of drives that can be installed inside it.

There is not any disk exposed. It's a regular SATA hard drive, which I am using right now. Probably you are having an optical illusion :)

They never show the back cover of the drive in the photos - no wonder there is so much confusion. Open the drive and the warranty is void. They shipped SEALED from the atmosphere, be sure of that.

The one I got was NOT SEALED! Only a pice of tape keeps bag close. Tip. Check the drive runing time when you bought one. Because the dick sold me a used drive that have been ran for more 1,000 hours.

No, it's just showing you the platter type and what it looks like inside. It's a perfectly fine working piece of equipment. It's not used, it's not refurbed or anything. This type of packaging just means that it was normally used in like OEM equipment, but they didn't need to use it, or that it was just overstock stuff. It's a brand new hard drive.

It does not. But I concurrently purchased one from amazon or Newegg for a very inexpensive amount (I'm sure it was under 5 dollars). So far, the drive has worked flawlessly.
