Storing bare HDDs externally

[hideki]

Here's a strange question, how do people store HDDs that are not plugged into a PC?

Say I have a hot-swap USB dock that allows me to plug in an HDD and make a backup. I could have multiple drives I could switch in if needed.
This is on the premise the drive needs to be external from the PC and cannot simply be put in a spare enclosure or bay.

Do people generally just keep drives in antistatic bags or whatever container they came in or is there a better and safer way to store them?

I don't think I've ever seen specialized hard drive containers.

I use the plastic clamshells from samsung HDDs.

They are anti static and they are protective for the HDD.

I have a few cases designed to hold them. They are called HDD storage tanks and work a treat.
