The following are helpful guidelines for packaging disk drives for shipment
By adhering to these guidelines you will provide the best possible protection for the drive so it is not further damaged in transit.
Please utilize original manufacturer packaging when available as it has been specifically engineered to optimally protect the drives during transit. Place the drive in the original ESD (electro-static discharge) protective bag prior to shipment. If the ESD bag is not available, please use an equivalent anti-static bag. Use an outer carton that is made of corrugated paper.
The disk drive is a sensitive precision instrument. To protect the drive from shock, you will need to use a cushioning material. Foam may also be used as long as the drive cannot move when box is jolted and foam is covering all sides of the drive.
To ensure the drive does not move inside the corrugated carton, make sure that you have secured the drive snugly with the same amount of cushioning on all sides due to the fact that the carton could be dropped on any side during shipping.
