The drives I just bought were half packed in white foam then wrapped
in bubble wrap. Not all edges were protected with more than bubble
wrap.
Same here for me. I purchased 10 x 2TB Hitachi 7200rpm SATA disks from
Newegg.com in March. The majority of the drives were protected in white
foam.

I have to agree. ZFS needs a more intelligent scrub/resilver algorithm, which
can 'sequentialise' the process.

ZFS resilver can take a very long time depending on your usage pattern.
I do disagree with some things he said though... like a 1TB drive being
able to be read/written in 2 hours? I seriously doubt this. Just reading
