I need some advice from the list. I've started using a USB drive dock
that allows one to insert a bare SATA disk drive (2.5", 3.5"). I can
imagine reaching over one dry day and feeling a ZAP as I touch the
drive, or someone grabbing it with fingers on the circuit card. Surely
this is a problem for the average consumer?

What covering or wrap are folks who are in-the-know using to protect the
circuit board at least, or the whole casing? There isn't much room
around the slot, so it can't be a 'case', but a wrap might work. It
would also have to have a vent hole for the drive vent if completely
wrapping it. I would also guess that the outside would be conductive,
while the inside insulated. This precludes the average shrink-wrap, duct
tape, or aluminum foil... ;)

I can see a day when there will be a whole stack of bare drives laying
around or passed around and it seems to be a big risk of loss by
accidental touch.

Thanks,
Skip
