Warning!

 Hard drives and storage enclosures should be handled 

carefully, especially when they’re transported. If you’re not careful 

with your drives, you may experience lost data as a result. Always 

handle storage devices with caution. Make sure that you’re properly 

grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when you install any 

computer component. If an anti-static strap isn’t available, touch a 

large grounded metal surface for several seconds to discharge any 

built-up static electricity.

so on).
