The questions remaining are:
1. Why did the baggage need to be delivered?
2. Does the original BIR filed have the same effect as reporting damages?
Answer 1. Delayed baggage for 14 hours. Luggage was on hold at JFK, didn't really follow me to HKG.
Answer 2. Not to sure about that, would have to double check with CX.

Answer: Actually three of them are server-graded/Enterprised drives. My original carry-on was already so full that I couldn't put in. After landing in HKG, I actually had to fly to quite a few different places before I got back and notified by the team some didn't work, so I couldn't just go back to the airport (Four continents, 80k BIS last four weeks).
I think I got it - Perhaps it's the Montreal Convention. CX actually did offer assistance on insurance claims. Would check if that qualifies for CC travel insurance.
