I have 2 Lacie 2.5 external hard drives.
I travel alot with my laptop, and I would love to have a safety holder/bag which could take BOTH 2.5 harddrives. Any suggestions?
If not, which one would you suggest? And where to buy in the UK.
Many thanks
PS: I just came across this website

I might possibly get this one - two 2.5 hard drives (without accessories)

Well, I carry my WB 2,5" passport drive in the main compartment with my laptop...
All you really need to make sure with your bag is that you have some internal pockets - the pockets themselves don't need anything to keep them in place or open/close etc.
You may even find space in your current laptop bag - if you only travel withit with no "on the go" access you'd be alright putting them side by side on top of your laptop. -
and I have my hd cables in the Sweex so its all together now.

Just thinking, product link for anybody who is also interested?
(For people who search the forum and arrive here) -
The product link isn't working.
I tended to just reuse bubble wrap lined mail packs that I get from buying stuff on line. If you generally have it in your carry on bag then it should be fine. Putting it in a check -in luggage is questionable. -

Unless you drop the bag on the floor, ain't nuthin gonna happen. Use your wife's jewlery boxes? The kind wit paddin in it?

Scissors, bubble wrap and tape- make your own little sleeve for each drive.

The question is how much protection you want I guess. Looks like this bag affords adequate protection for everyday use - not against impacts as such, but just regular handling.
Personally, I like the disks themselves to be robust - so use Freecom Toughdrives. When I need my disks actually protected, I use the smaller Storm Cases for transport. -
I use an Incase neoprene sleeve to carry around my 2.5" hard drives. The pouch is made for GPS units, but it fits my 2.5" hard drives perfectly and has a divider so you can store them separately in the same pouch. Here's a link:

They're $19.99 at Target. I use the same sleeve for my 3G iTouch 64GB. It, too, fits perfectly with room for the docking cable and other accessories such as ear buds.
Before Incase, I was also considering Speck and CaseLogic solutions as well (see links).
