SSD Case Recommendations

[hopkins802]

What do folks use to keep their recording media (SSDs) safe in their bags / pelican cases? I just got the Atomos V and I want to make sure my SSD is out of harms way when not in use. I ordered a Pelican for the Atomos, and I can pick some of the foam out for my SSD's, but i'm worried that the foam will scratch up the contacts?

Thanks!

An economical way to go is to simply used the low-cost hard-drive cases like such:





Or simply put the SSD's in a freezer-gauge zip-lock back that you then make space for inside the foam-lined case.

Perfect, thanks man. Do zip locks keep out static?

Lol I put mine in nike low-cut socks inside my cinebag. Never had any problems.

I used to put them in the opposite way inside the Atomos caddys...pretty much a protective hard shell over the entire thing (with the contacts not exposed).

But that required unscrewing at least one of the screws if you used any (I only used one out of the 4), and eventually became too lazy to do it. In hindsight, I doubt the contacts would ever get scratched enough from normal storage to affect performance.
