I have a device like this and it supports heavy gpu inside my pc. Wery usefull and nicly built thing made from metal. But the consern is it has a magnet on botom side, so it sticks to metal surfece inside the case. Wery usefull again but my hard disk is under that metal surfice. So i wonder can it corupt data or damage hdd itself…?!

      I wouldn’t worry. As others has said in this thread; a way more powerful magnet is present inside the HDD. Also fans produce magentic fields to a small degree. Then again, I don’t store anything important on the magnetic drive in my PC, so I’m not risking anything. 🤷‍♂️
