This is for my offsite backup strategy. I'm just gonna keep a single 3.5" hard drive in a Peli case and put it in the shed (And rotate with my other backup drive when I bring it indoors every couple weeks). Want to be able to fit the hard drive snug and hopefully have enough spare room for an AirTag and a silica gel packet.

It's a Seagate IronWolf and the data sheet states: 26.11mm/1.028in, 101.85mm/4.01in, 146.99mm/5.787in

And I think this Peli case is the right size?

Interior (L×W×D) 18.5 x 10.9 x 6.1 cm - (Thick: 2.6cm to 6.1cm; Width: 10.1cm to 10.9cm; Length: 14.6cm to 18.5cm)

The Peli case is watertight and has a pressure release valve. Would be curious of any alternative suggestions that I can easily get in the UK.
