Does one harddrive case offer more protection than the others?
Generally speaking, hard drive cases do not offer more protection than another case. If you drop a hard drive while in its case, the resulting shock may displace some of the hard disk platters which will ultimately prevent the disk from being read. Additionally, a fully enclosed hard drive case is not healthy for the hard drive if the case does not provide a way for the hard drive to radiate heat. Please note that hard drives are one of the hottest (temperature wise) devices running in your computer. The friction caused by a spinning hard drive is what generates the heat in a hard drive so you must ensure that the hard drive has proper cooling available to it.

How to Safely Remove a Computer Hard Drive?
Many computer users may never need to know where their computer hard drive is located. However, there are some that will inevitably have to replace their hard drive for whatever reason. Doing so may seem difficult, but it really isn’t. Listed below are some steps which will help you safely remove a hard drive. • The first step is one of the most important steps of this process. Make a back up of everything on your computer. Anything that is on your computer that you cannot risk losing needs to be backed up on a disk or external drive. If somebody other than you plans on using that hard drive, you should erase all the data on that drive as well. You can do so by reformatting your hard drive. • The second step is also very important. For your safety, once you have opened the case, any metal, such as rings, bracelets or metal near the computer should be removed. Once you have removed all the metal from around the computer, unplug the computer from the electrical outlet. After, and only after, the computer has been unplugged, touch the metal casing of the computer to prevent any static charge. • Once you have located the hard drive, disconnect it. Then unplug the hard drive from the power cables and the IDE. Grab the IDE cable and gently pull it until the connector breaks free. This can seem difficult if the connector is fitted tightly, but just give it a little tug. Make sure you pull straight out. You do not want to bend any pins during the process. • Once this is completed, you can remove the hard drive. If the hard drive is in a metal cage, find the screws that are holding it in place and remove them. Once the cage is free, remove the screws from the cage to free the hard drive. If your hard drive is not in a cage, then you will need to remove the screws on either side of the hard drive and take it out of the case. There you have it. You have successfully and safely removed your computer’s hard drive. Make sure you keep all the little screws somewhere they will not be lost, as you will need them to install your new hard drive.
