Over the past year, I've purchased 3 packs of these - they are simply magnificent. I looked into individual drive cases for storing my drives, but they cost a bit more than I wanted to pay, and didn't look like they'd really provide sufficient protection against a bump or small drop. These do the trick

The pocket on the outside is nice as it allows me to slip a sheet of paper in with a record of what I have on the drive and I can see it without having to unseal the pouch/drive.

Update 12/: I just bought another 10 pack, as my approach to system backups these days is just to clone the drives. Hard drives are so cheap, they are less expensive than the 2GB backup tapes I bought back in the day. If I'm going to use hard drives for having the ability to just pop a clone drive in upon a failure, I'm happy to pay the extra amount for the bubble bag to provide an additional layer of protection.

I'm interested in knowing what others are doing in this situation.  I'm sure there is some sort of "life" in these bags and they can't be recycled and reused forever.  If so, how is that determined?

Thanks...

As part of our manufacturing assembly process we receive a lot of components in ESD shielding bags. The bags are brand new and upon removal of the component from the bag, the bags are simply thrown away. This seems like a colossal waste to me. In some cases, such as when we have padded ESD bags, we will send these back to the vendor for reuse.I'm interested in knowing what others are doing in this situation.

I believe that they become unsightly long before they become ineffective. We keep a large quantity of used ESD bags on hand, but sooner or later they have to be tossed out. They're not very valuable, so I wouldn't stay up late worrying about it.

You can throw them in the shredder and create geek-style tinsel during Christmas time.

We actually banned the pink poly bags. We now only use the semimetallized bags.
