I have no idea what "Saran wrap" is, but you can easily see for yourself what the original plastic wrap looks like by taking the drive off your TP701, which is very easily and safely done (after all, the TP701 drives were designed to be removable). I suppose IBM wouldn't have wrapped the drives if it could have damaged them. It probably also protects the drive against dust and oxidation. At one time my TP701 acted as my home Internet server and was switched on 24 hours a day for more than 5 months. Neither the TP701 nor the drive itself appeared to have suffered from any kind of overheating.
