Stupid HDD question - case puts pressure on it [solved] - eviltoast

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?

    HDDs are great for storing stuff. All my jellyfin movies are on HDDs. No reason to go SSD for those - the HDDs give the performance I need at less cost
