content: Does the sponge for the enclosure case cause pressure damage to the flat cables of 2.5" HDDs? I have an Orico 25pw1 enclosure case + 2.5" Seagate ST500LM030 HDD. This enclosure case contains a sponge, I think it's EVA, to stick to the lower central part of the case and it would be in direct contact with the flat cable of this HDD. When closing the top cover of the case, will the sponge cause pressure and long-term damage to the flat cable or not?

content: If it looks like a troublemaker, swims like a troublemaker, and quacks like a troublemaker, then it probably is a troublemaker.Ignoring any suspicions we may hold, to me it’s clear that all traceable activity shows naïve egoism with not even a sign of self-reflection or respect for others. And to me it is enough. Language barrier, being a teenager, having obsessions — with enough good will on both ends this can be overcame. Being a prick can not.

Probably as others have guessed, a real human with either mental issues or one trying to build up enough posts/reputation to post actual spam.Thread titles that start with "doubt" may warrant closer scrutiny of the user starting them.

content: And on the technical side - no, it does not matter. The cable is glued to the HDD case and will not deform.I assume the foam will dampen the noise and vibration a bit, the HDD will be fine (if the case can handle the pressure).Btw. "in former times" there were 2.5" drives with attached foam for dampening (that was done by the laptop manufacturers).

It wouldn’t be prudent to let a single troublemaker make us get prejudiced against non-native speakers, would it?
