In a few weeks, I'm going to be moving. I will be moving back to the United States from the Philippines.
How would I go about transporting my HDDs? Should I just carry them on? If I do ... will I get data loss when they scan through my bags? Or should I take them out at that point?
What other factors could destroy data in my HDD? I'd like to have zero data loss since I'd like to be able to restore my system once I settle in.
I could also ship them via freight along with other household items ... which would arrive later. I'd imagine this wouldn't be as wise though.
If you guys could share your experience when travelling long distances with data .... that'd be great.
