Hard drive types
Acronis accepts hard disk drives of the following interface types: IDE, ATA, SATA, USB connected
drives.
SCSI drives are not accepted.
Packaging
If possible, use the original packaging. Otherwise, packaging materials can be obtained at any
shipping outlet or stationary store. You should also include all necessary cables or adapters to the
drive. Acronis will not be able to process your initial seeding request if there are no cables included.
The following are instructions about how to package your hard disk drive.
Step 1
Delicately remove your hard disk drive from the machine.
Step 2
Place the hard drive into an anti-static bag to protect the drive from electrostatic discharge. If you do
not have an anti-static bag, simply wrap the hard drive into aluminum foil.
Step 3
Use a sturdy box that is at least twice the size of the drive. Pack the drive with a bubble wrap around
all 6 sides so it can fit tight into the box and cannot be moved within.
DO NOT use Styrofoam peanuts for packing as they do not provide enough protection.
DO NOT send your media in jiffy bags
