How to pack a hard drive

Solution 1:

Wrap some rubber bands around it and then put it in a sock and then wrap it in a towel. You may want to destatic the towel and sock using this method

Make sure you secure it (like in the dashboard compartment). And don't crash.

Solution 2:

Wrapping it in newspaper or bubble-wrap inside a box should be fine.

Solution 3:

If you wrap the drive and then cushion it in a briefcase and store it so it can't slide off the seat it should be fine.
