What is it with shipping hard drives?

The inner box is properly packaged ?

How is that any different than the small package alone sliding around on the UPS truck shelf ?
Or thrown from one end of the trailer to the other ?


A non-crushed empty outer box would be evidence of rather well handled, actually. At least in terms of being crushed and maybe kicked / tossed / throw around.

OK, so go grab a newborn, shake him violently, but not actually leave any marks on his head. Let's see how well his brain works as he ages.

No marks doesn't mean a thing.

OK, I'll ask again, Is the inner package properly packaged to protect the child ?



A properly protected package inside a box, inside a box, inside a box, inside a box is just going to thump a lot when it moves and do absolutely nothing when it doesn't.

Edit: The OP doesn't say a bare drive in a big old empty box, he says a drive in a box inside a box.
Hence the question regarding the proper protection of the inner package.

Completely different physics involved between the two scenarios.
