Carrying hard drives in checked in luggage

Carrying hard drives in checked in luggage - Top View Photo Gadgets on Hardwood Floor

This question is about flying within India. Can I place an internal hard drive and a solid state drive inside my checked in luggage? I'll be wrap them in a bubble wrap and place them between my clothes so I'm not worried about damage.

I'm worried if their scanner would pickup something that'll prevent my luggage from being loaded.

I don't want to carry it in my carry-on luggage as it is usually jampacked.



Best Answer

Should not be a problem. The security is trained to know these things and they won't offload your luggage because of this reason. I have personally carried hard disks in luggage several times.
