Response to question 1. I bought two WD Blacks. They sent the drives sitting in styrofoam wrapped in bubble tape inside a box with peanuts. I don't know how that compares to in the past.
Like TH421 said, they wrap them more than adequately. Ive gotten all my hard drives from newegg, and they have always been received in great condition.
