Computer disk drives, solid-state drives, flash drives, etc., are all
ESD sensitive. ESD precautions should be taken whenever they are
handled, regardless of mounting.

Please explain how galvanic isolation relates to electrostatic discharge
mitigation.

Please provide a URL for an isolating transformer that can mitigate
electrostatic discharge,

I agree that circuit breakers, ground-fault circuit interrupters, and
arc-fault circuit interrupters will not mitigate electrostatic discharge:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc-fault_circuit_interrupter
Do you have some other kind of circuit breaker in mind?

Please explain the risk(s) associate with antistatic wrist straps.
