My apologies if this is a bit off topic...

I am going to start doing backups to removable hard drives and I
will need to send these hard drives to an off-site storage
facility.  I am looking for some way to protect the drives after I
pull them out of the system.  I was hoping to find some kind of
clamshell enclosure similar to what is used with external hard
drives, but so far I haven't found anything.  Do you guys know of
anything like this?  How do you protect your removable drives when
they are not in the computer?

When you buy drives at retail, they come packed in about 3 inches of
foam on all sides around.  If you have any of those boxes laying
around with the foam, use that.  Also make sure to put them in
anti-static bags.

Good idea, but I generally by OEM drives and they come packed in
bubble wrap and foam peanuts.  Besides, I was hoping for something a bit
smaller than those boxes.



Hi!

You may have a look at Pelican cases. They may have a model that'll fit your needs.

I use some of these cases and i'm very satisfied. They are almost unbreakable, waterproof and they have a safety pressure valve.
