Hello,
I am currently new to the PC world and I am curious about my HDD. Quick heads up that I have already purchased the HDD itself but my concern is in regards to the HDD bracket:

1. Does it matter if I use a different HDD Bracket? I am considering purchasing a (PH-SDBKT_01) or (PH-SDBKT_02).

2. For my case, does it matter if I buy a modular or traditional 3.5” bracket? If there’s no difference, which type of bracket is better to have for my case?

Let me know if photos are needed.

Information:
Phanteks Pro M Series (PH-ES515PTG_BK) Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Case, Black
WD Blue 2TB PC Hard Drive - 5400 RPM Class, SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD20EZAZ
 
Solution
Both of the brackets you listed are for 2.5 inch SSDs, not 3.5inch HDDs

You need part PH-HDDKT_01 or PH-HDDKT_02 depending on where you want to mount the drive.
