I archive files to bare hard drives, which are starting to pile up. I've just been keeping them in their anti-static bags, but I'd like to find some plastic or cardboard boxes that would fit. Does anybody know of a source?

My WD boxes are filled with RAGE.
And used kitty litter.

Anyway, try asking at a computer shop. When I buy a case of drives, they come in a nice box with pre-cut foam, which is exactly what you need.
You could also make something like that yourself, if you have a decent-sized piece of foam.
 
Don't forget, for long term storage, that regardless of the pretty foam and custom box, they still need the anti-static bag!
 
You need some of the plastic clamshells that Seagate and Samsung hard drives ship in. Any shop that sells a reasonable number of either brand of drive will have dozens of them lying around, will probably give them to you - especially if you buy some drives from them now and again.
