Crucial X9 Shock Case

I've recently started on an adventure in backing up and centralising all my files onto a NAS. As part of this, I've invested in a Crucial X9 external SSD to act as cold storage.

Although SSD's have no moving parts and so are less susceptible to shock than a HDD, they can still be damaged by drops of sufficient height. I also wanted something which was less prone to getting lost than the SSD alone might be - so I made this shock case.

It's designed to be printed in TPU without supports - print it with the bottom to the bed. I recommend a gyroid infill of 5-10% - less really is more, as the voids/empty areas where there's no material act to absorb shock more than solid material would, but you still want some material to spread the shock out around and provide some rigidity. Voids in the case may also help it float.

To insert the SSD, pull the 2 sides of the this shock case apart gently, and then push the drive in.
