So I just bought a SATA HDD docking station because I've been accumulating hard drives and I wanted to be able to use them without swapping them in and out of enclosures all the time. I've got 4 (2 2.5", 2 3.5") and don't like to leave them sitting out, but don't know I should store them.

This seems to be along the line of what I'm looking for. I like the case that holds 10, but don't need one that big. The individual ones make me think of those awful VHS rental cases.
I wouldn't mind something simpler either. Just looking for ideas.

That was kind of my issue too.
Do you know of anything smaller, but not too small? Something like 6 drives? I don't think I need space for 10.

Me either. I'm going to keep looking. I'll post back if I find something.

Save your money. Just keep them in anti-static bags in a clean dry, low humidity location. Unless you're shipping these drives or traveling with them somewhere, you don't need this.

I had thought about that too. Just don't really know where to get anti-static bags. I haven't really looked though, so I'm sure they're not too hard to find.

You can check out http://www.casesbypelican.com for watertight cases in all sizes. Most have 'pick n' pluck' foam inserts to customize your storage. For a size you're talking about, should only cost about 35 bucks.
