Moving HDDs in PCs in packing boxes

[garywork]

Hi

going to pack up 2 pcs in their repsective boxes
both lian-li - i have the original packing

should i be concerned with moving and vibrations
or is the fact that they are turned off enough ?

not sure really on this

mind you , blank HDDs are sent all around the world
on their way to us when we buy them originally ?

thanks

i suppose if you're really paraniod about this, you could remove the hard drives, stick them in a few layers of bubblewrap, and either send them seperately or find a place in the existing box thats fairly snug.

i cant say if this would be an issue or not though.

Check everything is fully secured. I would be tempted to remove the Heatsink if it is a massive one.

Definatley remove the heatsink if its on the larger side.
If that releases during transit that'd probably take a chunk outta whatevers under it, then rattel around bashing stuff up.
I woudl be hapyp to leave HDDs in as long as theyre secured properly ie- screwed in not bungeed
