Great suggestions, thanks. I'm leaning towards one of the Phoenix cashier safe's as a matter of fact. I like the "deposit" bins that they have at the top. That can be used as an evidence drop.
I wouldn't be "dropping" hard drives into an evidence safe if I were you. The good thing about a traditional opening safe (or firesafe) is that you can keep a copy of the evidence log in the safe with the drives to further secure your chain of custody.
Haha, well of course not. I suppose I should elaborate on my post. If you're able to take a look, the main portion is secured by a digital keypad affixed on a swinging door. A different PIN can be assigned to each person, allowing great logging capabilities, but also have a hard log kept inside as well. It also has a shallow segmented portion up top for convenient evidence "drops". I plan on padding that portion, as well as providing proper padding instructions for the drives to my imager minions. This will allow chain of custody to be kept without the minions having to tote the drives around until an evidence custodian becomes available to process.
