I don't take any extra precautions other than not banging it around. Used to 
be, back in the day, you had to issue a command to park the heads on hard 
drives. Now they do it upon shutdown.
I just put it in the case it came in and put it in my backpack. I only bring 
it home from the office every couple of weeks or so or if I've got some 
images that I really don't want to lose.
So I don't worry about it too much as long as you're not throwing it 
around...
Best,
Bob

You are correct, thx.  My friend Bob Baron suggested that today also.  
It is a small PITA, but I think I will take that last external drive to 
the office and transport it back and forth.  I wonder if there are any 
issues in carrying it around - maybe bubble wrap in my briefcase?
