Anti Static Bubble Bags, Resealable Static Shielding Bag, Reusable for Sensitive Electronic Components (Large Qty 100) Pink

Yes, very nice bags! They fit the internal 2.5" SATA drives WITH the screws attached - helps me switch out internal drives faster. I like the feel of the outer plastic layer because it is tough enough. The bubbles inside make me feel safe in storage. If I was to drop one of my drives accidentally, I believe they would be SAFE. These bags have a, strong, clear sleeve to slide a paper note inside - so it won't rip easily. I can still see the drive, inside, well enough to recognize it through the pink bubbles. The Zip closure works well to keep out air. I'm very satisfied with these static-free bags and might buy larger ones for older HDDs.

Over the past year, I've purchased 3 packs of these - they are simply magnificent. I looked into individual drive cases for storing my drives, but they cost a bit more than I wanted to pay, and didn't look like they'd really provide sufficient protection against a bump or small drop. These do the trick The pocket on the outside is nice as it allows me to slip a sheet of paper in with a record of what I have on the drive and I can see it without having to unseal the pouch/drive. Update 12/2020: I just bought another 10 pack, as my approach to system backups these days is just to clone the drives. Hard drives are so cheap, they are less expensive than the 2GB backup tapes I bought back in the day. If I'm going to use hard drives for having the ability to just pop a clone drive in upon a failure, I'm happy to pay the extra amount for the bubble bag to provide an additional layer of protection.

I backup my home systems to old internal disks that I've encrypted and use externally via a USB adapter. Transporting them always involved some bumps and bruises, occasionally resulting in a non-functioning hard drive. I looked into various protection (plastic cases, foam rubber, styrofoam) but they either did not offer any real protection or were too bulky to be of use. These bags, though a little bigger than I expected, are exactly what I wanted. They're big enough that 2 3.5" drives will fit in one sealed bag (top-to-top). They're easy to open and close. The external pocket is nice for any documentation or labeling. I don't believe they are static proof, but I had more drives fail due to physical damage than to ESD. These are made from fairly heavy plastic, and the "double-wall" construction is nice - can't snag the bubbles. Labels don't stick to them very well, but I put mine inside the pocket and haven't had one come off yet. Very nice product, does exactly what I hoped it would.

I don't like the way they open. You have to cut into them if you want to get something in with the padding on both sides.

We ordered these several times in the past few months and they are perfect for our needs. We were using hard drive boxes, but these are much better for storing and keeping the hard drives safe in the field and in our lab. We take them in the field to collect hard drives from processors we have on boats. These protect the drives if dropped and when the hard drive is mailed in an outer pouch or box. The pocket is a great addition as we use it to hold the tracking form and identification slip for each hard drive and it is not necessary to open the bag to obtain the paperwork . Also, the pink color stands out when we are carrying them in our gear bags. These were a great find!!

This is a near-perfect economical solution for storing many hard-drives for video editing. Even 4TB drives fill up fast when using ProRes (HQ) codec on longer projects with multiple cameras, and it's critical to have a good storage scheme for these drives. Others sell various hard-sided cases, but those have 2 problems -- (A) cannot be hermetically sealed unless you zip-lock bag the outside of the case, and (B) offer no impact protection. The air-tight seal works well (we add a small silica-gel package to keep things dry). Silicone Forensics also sells their "Hard Drive Transporter Classic" which we use for on-set protection and shipping. But that "transporter" does not seal hermetically, and its business-card sized info-sleeve on the outside doesn't allow for a printed inventory sheet of what's on the drive... whereas this bubble-pack anti-static bag accommodates a full sheet of paper (folded).

I use these for storing and shipping old computer boards that tend to be sensitive to static electricity. The bags are well padded and have a good seal. You can buy some bags for much less money, but if you want a good quality anti-static bag, I'd highly recommend you try these. I plan to use them for all of my circuit board storage and shipping needs.

I purchased these bags to help protect my bare hard drives I use for backing up my computer. I first put the drives into a IO Crest 3.5-Inch IDE/SATA HDD Storage Box SY-ACC35011 (Blue) and then insert it into one of these bags to offer shock protection. I then store the drives inside these bags in a safe deposit box at my bank. The drives fit perfectly in these bags and I like that they have a zipper lock so I can keep reusing them. They seem strong enough that one bag should be able to be reused quite a few times before it needs replacing.
