Maybe HDD are more fragile than SSD. On Tuesday I got two HDD handed over in a dpd parcel shop, actually it's a kiosk. They were packaged as shown by the image at https://i.imgur.com/1hSKGRe.jpg . Everything inside the package wasn't viewable damaged. One of the drives is way louder and also beeping at a frequency around 1.4 KHz and already suffered from a superblock issue, which is gone now. I probably should have refused to accept. I wonder, if my dealer is willing to replace the drive and I wonder, if I should ask to replace the other drive, too. The other drive still isn't partitioned. However, it sounds ok, so it's likely not damaged, but you never know. That at least one drive is fishy, might be unrelated to the package's treatment. OTOH it's reasonable to assume that it is related. I suspect a SSD is more shockproof than a HDD even with parked heads.
