Im pretty sure the weight you have seen on amazon is without the case for the HDD, and just the driv, on other sites it must be all included.

You certainly have a valid point, and It's understandable If the HDD Is packaged/comes with a separate enclosure.

However If there are no detachable parts, I don't see why they'd segregate the weight.

I noticed the 4TB comes by default in packaging that shows the item so I'll have to get it shipped in amaazon packaging, is that an issue? I worry about them remembering packaging an item in the shipping facility, paranoid I know but still :/

You're not paranoid at all.

It's always good practice to cover every angle when SEing.

In your opinion in doing wrong item method have I got it all covered? Order 4TB with Amazon packaging and order the 1TB in normal packaging (as it comes in the proper packaging by default) and then do the SE when I have them both. Have I got it all right? I don't think Amazon workers would remember putting the 4TB in different packaging as that would mean them talking to support which just isn't practical.

You're referring to the Inner packaging of the Item, correct?

That Is, the stock packaging of the Item.

Yeah apparently the 4TB one by default just comes in stock packaging with a label on it so I want it delivered in the standard packaging i.e in a box with a label in it. So the guy who delivers it doesn't see it and can't say it was a 4TB or anyone else that might mess up the SE.

Exactly how will both Items be delivered, Inclusive of their Inner and outer packaging?

Apologies for the late reply, just arrived home from a 9 hour shift at work.

On-topic, Is the "normal packaging" different for both HDDs?
