Whether you’re a bit of a parts hoarder or just trying to reuse old parts and keep them out of the dump, it’s easy to amass a pile of electronic components. Storing them is no good if they’re damaged when you go to use them, though; read on as we talk safe storage and how to keep your old HDD and friends alive.

无论您是某个零件ho积者，还是只是想重用旧零件并将其保留在转储中，都可以很容易地堆积一堆电子零件。 但是，如果您在使用它们时损坏了，则将它们存储起来是不好的。 在我们谈论安全存储以及如何使您的旧硬盘和朋友活着时继续阅读。

Dear How-To Geek,

亲爱的How-To Geek，

I definitely read your recent article about getting data off an old hard drive with interest as I have more than a few laying around. I have a related question to ask. How should I be storing these old hard drives? I don’t really have a good reason to get rid of them and, even though the data is backed up on them already, I like having them as a sort of “deep backup” in case I ever really need those old college papers or tax returns restored. I’m definitely guilty of just keeping them stacked up in a box in the back of the closet and it doesn’t take a computer engineer to know that’s a bad plan. What should I be doing?

我肯定读过您最近的一篇有关从旧硬盘驱动器获取数据的文章，因为我有很多内容。 我有一个相关的问题要问。 我应该如何存储这些旧硬盘驱动器？ 我真的没有充分的理由摆脱它们，即使已经将数据备份到它们上，我还是喜欢将它们作为“深度备份”，以防万一我真的需要那些旧的大学论文或纳税申报表已恢复。 我只是将它们堆放在壁橱后面的盒子里而感到内gui，并且不需要计算机工程师知道那是一个坏计划。 我应该怎么做？

Sincerely,

真诚的

Old HDD Hoarder

It always warms our geeky hearts when we come across people who are interested in best practices and how to protect data (no matter how old or redundant it might be). This is a useful question because not only do the general principles we’re about to outline apply to hard drives but also to other computer components like RAM, expansion cards, and motherboards.

当我们遇到对最佳实践以及如何保护数据(无论数据有多旧或多余)感兴趣的人们时，它总是会激起我们的怪异之心。 这是一个有用的问题，因为我们将概述的一般原理不仅适用于硬盘驱动器，而且适用于其他计算机组件，例如RAM，扩展卡和主板。

There are three principle enemies of electronic components: static, moisture, and physical shock/damage. The easiest to avoid is physical shock and damage. Most people know to be cautious enough with their equipment to not store it haphazardly enough so that a nudge off a tall shelf sends the hard drive crashing to the floor (potentially, among many hazards, breaking off data/power connectors or damaging the delicate solder joints).

电子元器件的三个主要敌人：静电，潮湿和物理冲击/损坏。 最容易避免的是物理冲击和损坏。 大多数人都知道他们的设备要足够谨慎，不能随意存储，以至于高架上的轻推会使硬盘驱动器坠落到地板上(在许多危害中，有可能损坏数据/电源连接器或损坏微妙的焊料)关节)。

You also need to be concerned about smaller and less visible damage that may occur, too. Years of being stored bare in a box at the back of your closet can lead to (as the box is moved, jostled, etc.) the hard metal edges of one HDD’s casing rubbing against the much softer underbelly of another HDD (where the logic board resides). It would be a real bummer to lose an old hard drive over a tiny damaged trace in a logic board when the platters and internal mechanisms are still good. With that in mind, the very first order of business is storing HDDs and other components so they can’t fall, bump into each other, or otherwise suffer a perfectly avoidable death-by-physics.

您还需要担心可能发生的较小和较不明显的损坏。 多年裸露在壁橱后面的盒子里可能会导致(随着盒子的移动，颠簸等)一个硬盘驱动器外壳的坚硬金属边缘与另一个硬盘驱动器的柔软得多的肋骨摩擦(逻辑上板驻留)。 当盘片和内部机制仍然良好时，将旧的硬盘驱动器丢失在逻辑板上的微小损坏痕迹上真是太可惜了。 考虑到这一点，第一要务就是存储硬盘和其他组件，以防止它们掉落，撞到对方或遭受完全可避免的物理死亡。

While a tumble off a poorly organized bookshelf is definitely the louder and more theatrical way for a hard drive to go, the silent killer is static discharge. Electronic components are enormously sensitive to static discharge and one errant zap (even if it isn’t felt or seen) from a finger tip can be the kiss of death to a component. The dryer the locale you live in, the bigger the concern (many an unsuspecting component has perished in the bitter cold and dry 15% humidity of a Northern winter). In addition to protecting the hard drive from bumps and bruises, you also want to provide protection against static discharge.

虽然乱糟糟的书架绝对是硬盘行驶时声音更大，更戏剧化的方式，但沉默的杀手是静电释放。 电子组件对静电放电极为敏感，指尖发出的一声突然响起(即使没有感觉到或看不见)可能是死亡之吻。 您所居住的地区越干燥，关注的范围就越大(在北方冬天15％的严寒和干燥湿度中，许多毫无疑问的成分已经消失了)。 除了保护硬盘免受撞击和擦伤之外，您还希望提供防止静电释放的保护。

Finally, you want to keep all your hard drives and bits ‘n pieces of computers dry. Compared to the risk of falling or getting zapped, moisture damage ranks pretty low on the list of potential risks (parts definitely die more often from plummets and zappy fingers than from slow corrosion in ultra-humid climates). Still, given how easy it is to keep a box, drawer, or cabinet full of parts nice and dry, there’s no reason not to.

最后，您想让所有硬盘驱动器和几台计算机保持干燥。 与掉落或划伤的风险相比，湿气损害在潜在风险列表中的排名很低(与超湿气候下的缓慢腐蚀相比，部件死于铅垂和扎着手指的频率肯定更高)。 尽管如此，考虑到保持盒子，抽屉或橱柜内充满整洁的零件是多么容易，没有理由不这样做。

Now that we’ve identified the three hazards your deep-storage parts might face, what’s the easiest way to mitigate them? We can look at how manufacturers ship those very parts to store (and directly to us) to see what we need to do. No company could afford to deal with the piles of RMA’d components that would result from poor packaging practices, so they employ best practices in order to get those parts safely to you.

既然我们已经确定了深度存储部分可能面临的三种危害，减轻它们的最简单方法是什么？ 我们可以看看制造商如何运送这些零件以直接存储(直接给我们)以了解我们需要做什么。 没有一家公司能够负担得起因不良包装实践而导致的RMA零件堆积，因此他们采用最佳实践来安全地获取这些零件。

When you unpack your typical hard drive, it has protections against all three of the hazards outlined above. The hard drive is cradled in some sort of protective foam, card board, or plastic shell (or all of the above) to prevent impact damage. The drive is wrapped in an anti-static bag to protect it from shocks. Finally, somewhere in the box is a little packet of desiccants (typically little silica beads in a perforated bag) to absorb any moisture and keep the container dry during shipment. Padded, electrically protected, and dry is the name of the game.

打开典型硬盘驱动器的包装时，它可以防止上述三种危险。 硬盘驱动器安装在某种保护性泡沫塑料，纸板或塑料外壳(或所有上述保护物中)中，以防止撞击损坏。 驱动器包装在防静电袋中，以防受到冲击。 最后，在盒子的某处有一小包干燥剂(通常在穿Kong的袋子中有少量硅胶珠)，以吸收水分并在运输过程中保持容器干燥。 衬垫，电气保护和干燥是游戏的名称。

If you’re only storing a few components, and you saved the packaging they came in, it’s easy enough to just put them right back in. Here are two hard drives from around our office packed back in the protective gear they came in:

如果您只存储了几个组件，并保存了它们的包装，就很容易将它们放回原处。以下是我们办公室周围的两个硬盘驱动器，里面装有保护装置：

The hard drive on the left is wrapped back up in its electrostatic bag and the one on the right is in an electrostatic clamshell: a nicer option that offers both shock protection and a little more physical protection than a simple bag.

左侧的硬盘驱动器被重新包装在其静电袋中，而右侧的硬盘驱动器则在一个静电翻盖中：与简单的包装袋相比，更好的选择是既提供防震保护又提供更多的物理保护。

Most other electronic components ship in similar wrapping. RAM and processors typically come in little plastic clamshells. Motherboards and video cards come in electrostatic bags protected by padding and a box.

大多数其他电子组件都采用类似的包装包装。 RAM和处理器通常带有很少的塑料翻盖。 主板和视频卡装在静电袋中，并用填充物和盒子保护。

Even if you don’t have the originally packaging, you can hope on eBay or Amazon and pick up the right stuff for a few bucks. Here you can buy hard drive size bags, 25 for $12. Want to wrap up a motherboard or video card? Fourteen bucks will get you 10 large component bags. If you like your stuff well organized and labeled, you can even get sturdy little HDD cases that look a whole lot like old VHS tape cases from a forget movie rental shop, complete with label space.

即使您没有原始包装，也可以希望在eBay或Amazon上以几美元的价格买到合适的东西。 在这里，您可以以$ 12的价格购买硬盘驱动器大小的包装袋25。 要包装主板或视频卡吗？ 14美元可以给你10个大零件袋。 如果您希望自己的物品井井有条并贴上标签，甚至可以从一家忘了租借电影的商店中购买结实的小硬盘盒，看起来像旧的VHS磁带盒，并带有标签空间。

Once your components are wrapped or encased in their anti-static material, placed carefully into a box or cabinet where they’re protected against slamming against each other by some appropriate barrier or padding, you can finish off the trifecta of best practice storage methods by tossing a silica pack in the storage container. Even a cheap $7 model, like this one here, will last you forever, as you can reactivate it every few years by drying it out in the oven.

将组件包装或用防静电材料包裹后，小心地放入盒子或柜子中，在其中通过适当的屏障或衬垫防止它们相互撞击，您可以通过以下方法完成最佳实践存储方法的三重奏：将硅胶袋扔进储存容器中。 即使是便宜的7美元模型(如此处的模型)也可以永久使用，因为您可以每隔几年将其在烤箱中晾干即可重新激活它。
