HDD storage

Question

Iron

Faced the problem of HDD storage.
Need to store and store a large amount of hdd. The number of disks is measured in dozens and they need to be easily removed / removed.
At the moment, foam boxes are used, in which, apparently, the disks were brought by the supplier. They look something like this: picture 1 and 2 . They are naturally small and not enough for all disks.
The question is the following. Where can I get such goodness in the amount of 5-10 blocks? What else can be adapted for mass storage hdd?
PS The second question is more relevant.

Answer 1

Call either large chain stores or the offices of large technology companies. Unfortunately, you did not specify the city.
I saw such HDD warehouses just on the shelves, but in a ventilated room.

Answer 2

I use these silicone skins to store discs. They stack wonderfully on top of each other and protect against accidental impacts inside the drawers. See if it suits you too.

Answer 3

There are manufacturers of foam packaging. Perhaps if the batch is larger, it will be possible to agree on an acceptable cost of products.

Answer 4

Pay attention to such cassettes

. I saw such a storage option.

Answer 5

On the second question:
Something like this or this - for 5 discs?

Answer 6

a long time ago there were great big floppy boxes. it is possible to actually find them even today.

Answer 7

I would look for modelers - they have to cut different shapes from foam, someone even builds 3D machines for this.
Make a drawing, buy foam blocks and cut them out for a fee.
But, to be honest, polystyrene is good for transportation, and one-time. When taken out, it crumbles and generally.
I would try to look in the direction of the shelves for video cassettes, if they still exist, although if I saw it somewhere, discs are stored on simple shelves, vertically on the long side, it is quite safe IMHO.

Answer 8

In any company that builds PCs, these boxes from the HDD are thrown away in large quantities. Even a small store throws away a box a week. You can use for storage from Samsung and WD, maybe Seagate. Hitachi - PVC packaging will not work. Cardboard boxes are also very durable, the manufacturer expected to roll them across half the world. For stationary storage, I would pick up polyurethane foam packages , like yours (contact the supplier). They are not foam and do not crumble. Take the same and assemble a cabinet from chipboard for this size. Perhaps even with drawers on skids.
