Hello KGhoops,<br />
It hanging trhere should not be a big deal however there are a few problems to recognize. &nbsp;Whenever the PC is moved, the harddrive will have the potential of getting damaged. &nbsp;Being it is not adhered to any metal, it may be potential to building up static electricity, which is of course not good. &nbsp;My recommendation is if you definitely cannot find a place to mount it. &nbsp;Then either mount it to the bottom of the case using threaded screws or vencro it to avoid it from moving.<br />

Hmm, it might affect the cooling of the rest of the PC if it blocks an air vent - I think patrickab has the best idea.

Thanks, this seems like the easiest to do. &nbsp;Didn't even think of buying an extra bracket.

I recently installed a new hard drive for my brother into his computer. &nbsp;I opened up the computer and found out that there was no place to put a second hard drive. &nbsp;I ended up installing it by letting it hang in there and rest at the bottom of the case. &nbsp;My question is, if the hard drive is used a lot, will there be any problems with vibrations since it is not screwed in anywhere?<br />

Thanks.

Loose hard drive cause problems?

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
