So I have a job that will be getting me out of the US. For most things I’m not to worried, except for my computer. What would be the best way to securely move it and also not potentially worry about damaging it?
It’ll be a given that I have an encrypted off-site (cloud) back up, but I’m torn about removing the drives to hand carry and then shipping the chassis. My only worry about that would be customs stopping me because of carrying hard drives… more specifically 3x M.2, which I’m not as worried about and 4x 2.5” SSDs
Thoughts?
If the GPU is heavy, consider carrying it seperately. Carry it with an ESD pack
If you have any HDDs, absolutely carry them seperately.
If you’re sure the SSD’s won’t move away in their place,having them on pc shouldn’t cause any problems; but keeping them on your personal belongings is the safest option.
Rest of the components should be fairly safe to ship, maybe the case in weird shapes could cause some trouble; but if you have the foam the case came with chances are it’s not going to cause much problems.
