This 3.5" drive is used solely as backup to my SSD when working off the laptop on the road. It's a NAS drive too 7200rpm in an enclosure. Am I okay keeping it in my backpack or should I get a hard case with cuttable foam inside to put it in?

Just trying to save the $50 expense of the additional hard case if I can get away with it. And if I get it, it's just another thing for me to have to carry around.

If I could afford it, I would just buy another external SSD to use as backup and not have to worry about protecting it. But I just had to spring on a 4TB external SSD and don't really have it in my budget right now to get another one. So that's why im using the 3.5 NAS HDD for the time being until the prices on hard drives continue to drop.
