HDDs are very durable when off, I’d be fine running it but I have backups.

Otherwise you may want to purchase them in person so you can see the box.

I’ve received drives from Newegg that were just tossed in a box with some of those large bubbles and they’re still going fine.

What are you talking about? Newer drives support shocks of around 200G, while older ones supported 250G even 300G.
