"Hi. I have a drive that was taken out of the bag and then put back in, but never used. Would it be safe to install? I was told that because it was taken out of the bag there would be some problem with static electricity. I don't think there would be a problem but I just want to check here first."
I'll write that under normal conditions, there should be no issue.
