• recommend a disk carrying box

    From hymie!@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 31 12:34:26 2016
    Greetings.

    I know this is probably off-topic, but I'm running out of places to ask.

    Once a week, we do a backup to a 3.5" hard disk. Once a week, I take
    the hard disk out of the array, put it in a static bag, put them in a
    box, and take it to our "disk library administrator". She takes the disk-and-bag out of the box, puts it in her disk-storage box in her safe,
    takes the next disk-and-bag out of the disk-storage box in her safe, and
    gives it to me. I put the disk-in-bag back in the box, carry it back
    to my machine, and insert the disk into the disk array for next week's
    backup.

    The boxes that I have are about 1/2-inch wider and an inch longer than
    the drive, and have little tabs to hold the disk in place.

    The boxes are breaking, and I need to replace them.

    I cannot find a box large enough to hold a 3.5" hard disk in a poorly-
    fitting anti-static bag. All of the boxes I can find are form-fitted
    to the hard disk, and usually have their own anti-static capabilities. Unfortunately, this won't work for my safe.

    I need to find a box that will match my current one, with enough wiggle-
    room to hold a 3.5" hard disk in a static bag.

    Can anybody recommend one to me?

    Use a soft, padded, zippered case.
