Is it safe to install my shucked drives like this? They're hanging by 1 screw on each side.

Hello

I wouldn't. Drives tend to vibrate, so but sure how wobbly the get and what kind of negative impact that would have on life span

Screws are cheap, why not just put the remaining ones in to help cut down on vibration?

Because these

I'm going to go with, nope.

Thanks someone showed me the manufacturer sells

You need the extension holders

Thanks I didn't even know those existed!

No

Please secure those.

Vibration is bad. If the mechanics doesn't allow for screws, use elastic bands around the drives and wedge them into that drive case. Keep the one screw also.

They appear satisfied

I would say no.

I would definitely not recommend either. If you can somehow secure with a second screw maybe

Node 804 build? Let's see the specs.

Thanks!

The Data Hoarder pendulum.

That is a terrible idea.... Do that if you want to kill your drives early

Just why. Install the proper screws. They are there for a reason.

Mine

I don’t think this is a good idea. They should be secured so they don’t swing or vibrate.

No.

Why didn't you use the lower hole on the opposite side to prevent the swinging action?

safe. eh. yolo. let it ride. you’ll probably be fine until you get something proper to hold them.

No this is bad idea as they are HDDs and have parts moving inside

Just Use some zipties
