what is an alternative to a antistatic bag to use for a hard drive
I suspect that you are talking about cookies and cream truffle candies or a candy I sampled once at a party that consisted of crushed oreos, butter and powdered sugar rolled into ballsYummyFind a good, high quality dipping chocolate first and melt it over a double broilerMix 2 cups crushed cookies with 1/2 stick of butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugarAdd some chopped nuts if you wantRoll your filling into balls and dip in chocolate.
Wrap your drive in aluminum foilEven better is to make a Faraday cageWrap the drive in an insulator (i.epaper) with no part exposed, then wrap that all in foilThen wrap that foil package in a second paper layer with no foil exposedThen wrap it all in a second foil layerNot only will it be protected from static but radio waves too (like from your cell phone being very close.)
I never use waxed paper, when I make my candy Sometimes it becomes part of the candy, in a pinch when I run out of room I put them on my plastic lids, Tupperware or something similar , the larger the better, put them in the refrigerator, once they have chill completely, just twisted and they'll pop right off.
Aluminum foilI don't suggest cello or saran wrap, as it will meltYou could also use a non-stick pan or a porcelain/glass/ceramic glazed plateJust pop the plate in the fridge for a few minutes and they should pop off easily.
