[SOLVED] Will keeping an HDD on top of my PSU damage it?

[Abracus]

So, I'm getting a new HDD and there's no more slots left. I can't remove the other HDD's either. So, if I attach it on my PSU with Double Sided tape, is there a chance that my HDD will get damaged?
I'm kinda dumb so yeah please don't hate

Definitely not recommended as the HDD will get too hot and that will lead to data corruption, data loss, bad sectors, you name it.

Better idea is to buy an external HDD, or if you already have an HDD buy an external enclosure for it.

That's a blasphemous idea. As per above a dock or external enclosure would be a much better play.
