Stupid HDD question - case puts pressure on it [solved]

Notes:
The two big physical spinning hard disk threats are vibration and heat.
If it's jammed into the case, I would be worried about vibration in the frame causing vibration on the hard disk. There are some hard disk mounts where you put basically rubber grommets between the disc and the frame to absorb some of the vibration. You could put a heat pad between the hard drive and the case to both act as vibration dampener and a thermal transfer.
Okay thanks, I'll keep that in mind
