Is it OK to stack HDDs?
Hello,
I have many internal drives that I use for storage. When I need to use I just connect them to my computer via USB-to-sata adapter.
When not in use, I like to stack them, like so

When stacking them, the drives attract each other via their magnets and stay firm which is why i like to stack them.
Would the magnets inside them cause issues for the drives?
Thank you.

How many drives you have? How big?

I had a stack of 5-6 of those I used in the same fashion as you. The ones I didn't sell or reuse are still working great. It takes really powerful magnets to damage a hard drive.
