Title: hard drives very close together- safe?
Post by: babyoh on February 24, 2009, 10:50:32 AM

i have several internal notebook hd's- i've very carefully aligned them side-by-side, in electro-static baggies, in a drawer.

question- is this bad, due to magnets from one, affecting the others, etc?
this may be a dumb question, but i really have no idea.

thanx.

babyoh,

Quotei have several internal notebook hd's- I've very carefully aligned them side-by-side, in electro-static baggies, in a drawer.

I have 5 hard drives that are stored in an old camera case and all that separate them is the small amount of hard form that used to separate my cameras lenses and I have not lost any data from any of the drives stored within the case,

should be fine. :thumbsup: especially with the anti static bags.
look at the inside of any pc, the slots for the hd's are right on top of each other...
