HDD Grouping Mounting System

thingiverse

The picture of the 3.5" mount is from an outdated revision of the design; adjustments were made to space from the sides. I needed a way to group my HDD together inside my case, so I designed this bracket system. The "cross section" (optional) are not exact in their design, so I made their holes oval. Mounting them to the brackets should be done either by low-profile screws (M3) or glue. 2.5" mounting system has no cross-section; the design allows it to fit sideways into the 5.25" of a case (three for the 3.5" and two for the 2.5"). The 2.5" should allow you to mount up to fourteen disks while the 3.5" should allow you to mount five. Note that if you only mount two, I recommend mounting them on the sides closer to the end. For the 2.5", M3 x 6mm screws should do the job. For the 3.5", I used screws from different cases I had laying around; M3 screws won't work on them reliably. I haven't designed a way for the bracket to be mounted to a PC case (since I have a non-standard case and I'm not moving it much). If you're planning to move your case, remove the disks with the mount and transport them separately, so that you don't damage your equipment. Your decision to use this design makes me in no way responsible for any damage, data loss, or any other consequences, which includes but is not limited to the apocalypse, or your computer becoming sentient and wiping out humanity. Your decision, your fault.
