...and only a few days later came across discussions in which people say that this is a no-no because those bags collect static on the outside and would discharge into whatever you put onto it (the HDD in this case). Others say that's right, but that the conductiveness of the bags is so low that it doesn't matter, and others say they've done this for years with various components without any issue.
(What's adding to the headache is that there are different sorts of bags with different properties. I suppose the kind that ab HDD comes in is conductive.)
In my case, the contact lasted less than a minute, I think, the HDD is working fine and the full scans and S. M. A. R. T. scans I've done keep showing that all is good. But I'm concerned about damage that might show itself in a few weeks or months. I put in the HDD a week ago.
Now I'm considering to replace this HDD. Or am I worrying too much?
