need a bit of hardware advise

[Kerry Hoath]

If t he drive runs hot it can cause the ducktape to
unstick and having sticky crap on your drive is likely to void yo ur
waranty and most drives that old have 3  years or more waranty.
I would strongly recommend buying the $3 bracket;
they screw in correctly; they don't have give like ducktape
and a drive at 5400rpm or faster can generate  heat.
If it is covered in tape; you could cook the drive.
9 years of putting computers together has taught me that if you cludge
stuff; it'll go to shit when you most need it to work correctly.
Duck take is also hard to remove and can be a maintinence headache.
Surely even you poor americans/canadians can afford $3 for a mounting bay?
If it was a rack mount case; I'd u nderstand.
