The difference is the amount of material available to absorb the shock. An adequate amount of material is key. Space sufficient for jouncing is inadequate.

The inner box already HAS the padding.
Put a drive in a padded box in your left hand .
Put a drive in a padded box inside a box.
Drop both to a concrete floor.
The drive in your right hand receives less of a shock as it hits the ground because it has the extra padding of the corrugated outer box.
Repeat the above experiment.
Except this time you yourself have to climb a ladder 10 feet and jump to a concrete floor bare foot.
One side of the ladder is bare floor, the other side has a flat cardboard box on top of the floor.
Tell me you're going to receive less of a shock jumping onto the bare concrete.
