Makes no difference, vendor is not much of a factor.

The only consistency in the hardware industry is inconsistency.
I think it has more to do with how drives are shipped from the vendor.
Vendors use to send these out in boxes with big foam inserts, but now you
are lucky if they secure it in bubble wrap. I have bought drives that were
thrown in a box loose with bubble wrap and were rolling around inside the
box when delivered. NewEgg isn't much better.
