Do bulk packaged hard drives come with data cables? - Carthaigh - 05-06-2008

Well do they? I am thinking of the ones specifically from zipzoomfly.com. Any experience buying drives from them?

cables are $2 from any computer store

Do you mean OEM bare drives as opposed to retail boxed drives?
The OEM drives I've purchased from places like zipzoomfly and newegg
come in an anti-static bag wrapped up in bubblewrap, with no cables
included.

Every bare drive I have ever purchased has come with a cable, rarely ever used them.

Thanks for the replies. I will probably just buy a few spares to be safe!
