Hello there :)

I have a couple of harddrives that I use for offline backups and archivation of data. At this moment, I just store them in antistaic foam that they were initially packaged in. But that's not the best solution.

That's why I came with this idea.

First, I put the HDD in antistatic bag. Such as this one:

Then I fill the bag with silica gels and seal it to protect it from moisture:

And finally, to protect it just a little bit against physical force, I will put it in some case, like this one:

(Something like this:

Or this one (and this one actually seems more robust :D):

And put them somewhere safe.

What do you guys think about this? Please, let me know your opinions and have a wonderful day, thank you!
