open box are items that have been returned for one reason or another. I really wouldnt take your chance with hard drives as they may have suffered severe damage and were returned or they just never worked to begin with.
I bought a killer mobo open box for about the same price only to find out it was severely damaged and I actually had to pay newegg back some money to have it returned... :[
