Hello
I have just backed up a load of stuff on to an internal hard drive for very long term storage - IE, I won't be looking to touch it UNLESS something happens to the main data.
The hard drive is actually in a 2-bay docking station so isn't part of the PC. I've ordered some anti static bags, which I'll use but now looking at some sort of small plastic box to protect it (and eventually them as they'll be three or four drives in a similar fashion).
I have some dense blue sponge hanging around my house.Can I use some of this to surround the drive in the box? It won't be machine neat cut or anything but just something to stop the drive from moving around in the box.
I know you can get fireproof boxes and all sorts but that's not what I'm after for this data. Just looking to store them somewhere out of the way and forget about them.
Thanks
