[SOLVED] Will affixing an hdd to the psu somehow damage either?

There is no actual way to secure it with screws. Heres an image of my sloppy work trying to firmly secure it. https://ibb.co/LPq9L4v

hi, although sloppy, this should not give you issues, i'd be more worried about the glue loosening over time due to heat

zipties would be better

Okay, thanks. I only need it to stay put for a day so that i can recover my files from it.

check for a possible vent hole that should not be covered!

EDIT: In fact, I zoomed in, and can clearly see the words "DO NOT COVER"! (low left of photo in current drive orientation)

Oh yeah, good catch. I checked for possible places that i shouldnt cover on the psu but totally forgot the hdd itself. Thanks
