    Anti-static component pad


    In addition to a server, I use internal sata drives externally as offline backups. I use a front sata panel to attach the drives, as can be seen here:

    Akasa Thermal Solution

    However, placing them on my desk surface is somewhat precarious, as the surface is hard and provides no ESD protection.

    To the question: I'm looking for some sort of mat or pad, aproximately 12"x12" (give or take) that will absorb impact and protect against static electricity. I would think these would be fairly common, but apparently not.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    James

    Found some in England for £10 on AdvanceTec. Guess they're not any good for you if you're not in England, but will give you an idea of what to look for.

    Here you go:
    Amazon.com: Cables Unlimited ACC-1420 12-Inch x 21.5-Inch Anti-Static Grounding Pad: Electronics

    Not pushing Amazon or Cables Unlimited, but just search for "antistatic mat" and you should find similar - wherever you are!
