WD VelociRaptor question

[Banc]

I am thinking about buying this, Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM. Should I be afraid of oem. This is my first build, not sure what I am getting into with oem. Thanks for any advice

oem is just the drive in an anti static bag... no instructions etc!

dont be affraid if you know how to mount the drive in the case then go oem

Yeah, OEM just means that your purchase includes the item only.

No packaging, no cd's, just the drive in the antistatic bag.

Do I need the cd to install?

No. Just plug in data and power cable and you're good to go.
