buying a HDD is not like getting a DVD drive. When I get a DVD drive I get the bolts to attach it inside my computer. When I buy a new HDD, I get nothing. Is that coz they are cheap?
1. Exceedingly competitive market dictates lack of accessories to keep pricing as low as possible (and yes, in multi-million dollar industries 5c makes a HUGE amount of difference).
2. Some motherboards and cases come with most of the screws and bolts required. Often cases have non standard bolts to hook into tool-less systems.
3. Some cases do not require bolts at all for some components.

I think its what they call an oem hdd you probably unpackaged it from a brown cardboard box. Basically you get what you asked for if you bought it from a retail shop it would of came in a nicely packaged box complete with cables etc.
Its great if you already have the cables as you make a nice saving.
The last Western Digital drive I bought (320GB) came in a retail glossy shrinkwrapped box. No bolts.
