Hello all,
I recently purchased a Seagate 6TB HDD as an expansion drive for my current rig, which is housed in a CM Storm Enforcer case. On unboxing, I noticed that the HDD did not have center mounting screws, which is causing a mounting issue with the OEM tool-free 3.5 to 5.25 mounting adapter brackets, which need that center screw for stability.
I've read quite a few other posts in this forum and elsewhere, and I'm considering trying a fastener (like a zip tie) or an adhesive (double-sided mounting tape, perhaps) to keep the drive stable. Basically, as long as I can get a good fit into the 5.25 bay and avoid any chances of the drive coming loose, I'll be pretty happy.
Any thoughts?
