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,

press Enter then have a Brandy then if the problem is still there have another Brandy
Q: does it work
A: It does seem to for a few hours at least.

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...
