Hey, quick question that I’m too dumb to know the answer to and can’t seem to find any info about anywhere.
I just got a 2.5" HDD and put it in the dedicated place in my Fractal Meshify C case. It’s on the side, and there really isn’t enough space for it - the drive is too thick for the panel to come back on normally. When I put the panel back on the case it pushes right up against the drive and the panel clearly isn’t flush with the case.
Is this an issue? Or will the drive be fine?
Is the panel under tension when it’s on? It’s hard to tell from this angle.
The drive will be fine, it’s sturdy as heck in this regard. I’m more worried you might bend the panel.
The slightest bit of tension, but not enough to permanently bend it. It bulges out maybe a couple of millimeters when closed and screwed on. Just didn’t know if the drive would suffer because I have no idea how well they tolerate pressure. But good to hear, thanks, that puts my mind at ease!
