Toss some desiccant pouches in the antistatic bag along with the hdd and then seal it again ???
One of my data hdd is at about 90%, so I have copied the data from that 120GB to a new 200GB, which I expect to fill in 18 months, at which time i'll do a 200GB->300GB transfer. (The data is also completely archived on quasi-verified CDs and DVDs, etc... ) Are there procedures to prep the 120GB hdd itself for its new life in retirement? Anyone know how do mfrs bag a new hdd?
