How To Store Internal Hard Drives?

I'm considering a hard drive dock and several internal hard drives to use as 'disks' to back things up every once in a while but I don't know what the best way to store internal drives would be in the meantime. Could they sit together in any empty box and be OK, or would a number of externals be worth the slightly higher cost with fewer worries about storing them in the meantime?"

If you plan to use them now and then get one of these puppies.
store them in their original packing material (anti-static bag/plastic box with a silica pad in it) and pop 'em in whenever you need to. No need for all kinds of different USB caddies, power supplies and whathaveyou anymore.
