Just scored a 1TB, and I'm not even trying that hard.
Pewp. finally got around to installing my 2TB I got a week ago and it's DOA Doesn't spin up.
EDIT: Wondering if I should see if Newegg will replace it with the seemingly endless supply they have or if I should RMA it to Samsung....
open box items have a 30 day warranty through newegg. You will not be able to return for replacement only refund unfortunately. Additionally I have never been charged a restocking fee for open box returns. All that you will need to get a full refund is to talk with them and say that the item was defective, it really is that simple. Additionally they will print you off a return shipping label to get the drive back to them.
Basically if anything goes wrong in 30 days you will get a full refund and wont even have to pay to ship it back.
Also for any prospective buyers that may be dissuaded from buying due to this one bad drive I have personally bought 10 of the 2Tb, back when the max order was 5, and never had any problems with them.

I have and more than once, particularly the 2TB models. I'd recommend that anyone who orders an open box drive do a full read and write scan and also run benchmarks on them as soon as they get delivered, using something like HDTune Pro. It's clear to me that some of them get returned and become "open box" for a reason.
