WARNING: Hard drives require careful handling, especially when being
transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may result.
Always handle your hard drive and storage device with caution.
WARNING: Hard drives, like all computer equipment can also be severely
damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before
opening your computer case or touching any components. StarTech.com
recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer
equipment. If an antistatic strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static
electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the
