Yes. When I began composing my previous message, I meant to mention that, and lost the intention in the flurry of typing and looking up URLs. I have anti-static bubble-wrap envelops for each of my bare drives. And I handle them carefully. But the red bubble-wrap sleeves are nice if you can find them in sizes convenient for the bare drives.
