Static - make sure your media is placed in anti-static bags before packing. You can typically find these bags at an electronics supply store or call us an we will mail you one.

Shock and Vibration - Shock and/or vibration can cause further damage to your media. To insure the media is protected at all times, package the media in a box with at least 2" of padding (i.e. foam, bubble wrap) on all 6 sides. Please do NOT pack with Styrofoam peanuts. Failures caused by shock and/or vibration account for one third of all HDD troubles.
