Hello,

I'm planning on buying another hard drive for my computer, solely to be used for data backup. I would likely backup my files to it once every week or two. However, in between backups, I would prefer to keep the hard drive off-site (in case of fire). Does anyone know of any cases that are designed for long-term HD storage? I would like a small case (probably plastic) that would hold my HD and protect it both from physical damage and other issues (static electricity and/or magnetic fields?). I'm hoping that such a case exists.

Thanks,
Mike Gnitecki
