I carried my drives and GPU in my carry on and shipped the PC. That's what I'd recommend.
I get the drives, by why the GPU? Not like that can reconstruct what it was used to calculate.
It's heavy, hanging from a flimsy PCIe slot held in by one screw. It's like having a wrecking ball inside your computer tethered by cotton. It's not for data security, it's to stop it from demolishing the motherboard with one heavy jolt.
Yup, exactly this. It's also the most expensive component so if the PC were to get lost, I'd at least still have the GPU.
Fair point.
