ssd packaging

I made a couple of ssd purchases in the past, and in general they were packed well, however the last purchase came in a cushioned envelope and the ssd sited in the small oem box.

I know ssd's can take a greater shock than hdd, but in this case, should I bother installing it? or return it?

anyone with similar experience(s)?

SSDs have no moving parts, so unless you have reason to believe the cushioning was insufficient to protect the drive from pressure damage.

the drive has no physical damage or scratches/dents ... and I also don't think UPS and USPS store any heavy stuff on top of envelopes (at least i would hope not).

just curious if anyone had a similar "experience"

(the whole reason i went with intel this time was for reliability ..... )
 
If it wasn't subject to enough force/impact to damage the casing, then it should be fine internally.
 
it's working fine .... I just did one little mistake of keeping the hdd plugged in as well (with the old windows) when I installed fresh windows on the ssd .... it wouldn't boot (no matter the boot order in bios).

all is fine now though.
 
SSDs are rated for ungodly g-forces before they will sustain any damage. Like pulverize a human body level of g-forces. You would surely see physical damage to the outside of your drive if it had sustained anything remotely close to that level of force exerted upon it.
 
unless you think the package incurred in excess of 1000G's (the typical rating on SSDs), I think you're OK there Sally
