Anyone ever post a HD?

Hi all, Have to send a load of data to a family member and would have to waste a day burning off DVD's. I have a small portable 160GB USB HD and was wondering would it be ok to send this through An Post using registered mail. Would a HD get wiped going through the mail process? Regards, h.a

Agree with the good packing comment, don't rely on a jiffy bag to protect it. Use an boatload of bubble wrap if you don't have the original packaging the Hard Drive came in
