The pattern you are looking at is from the bubble wrap, not someone stepping on it.

This is a non issue. There are no moving parts, they weight basically nothing the likelihood that they got damaged is extremely low, like basically 0%

That’s not a foot print. The patter exactly follows the bubbles in the envelope. It just got dirty, and dirty in such a way that the dirt only contacted the slightly raised bubbles, so it must have come into contact rather gently.

And seriously, your drive packaging is not crushed, wouldn’t that have been you first hint that it had not been stepped on? Like, for comparison, put the drives back in the envelope, stomp on it with your foot, and compare the results.

Ssd no moving parts. You’ll be fine.

That’s the same way I would have packaged it. And it appears to have arrived undamaged, right?

Did you expect them to ship it in a Pelican case?

Nah, that’s not a footprint. It’s dirt in the pattern of the bubble pattern underneath. Bet ya a buck.

nah ssds are tough af. those are most likely fine.

For the love of humanity this needs to be reported to the proper authorities.
