Good, old fashioned CRM Drive

Although the drive was in a sealed bag, it came with no retail box, definitely OEM. Manufacture date was 2013, but SMART showed no usage so all is well. Drive operates great and is whisper quiet. I’m using it for backups and anticipate many, many years of reliability.
