My external drive is used to raw-clone my main drive for swapping in the event of main drive failure, using a trayless removable drive bay.
It sits in an anti-static bag in a closed cabinet between cloning sessions.
In my view, environmental humidity is of little concern, so long as the drive doesn't experience sudden humidity changes that might precipitate moisture on the drive platters.
Hope this helps!

They will prevent paper from catching on fire (for a time) when there is a fire. But they will not protect the DATA on your ELECTRONICS from being lost in the baking process that is to follow (they get very hot inside during a fire).
