One of my SSDs just dangles in the case even though the rest of the build is put together just fine

Got a new SSD and didn't think to measure out the distance the wire was going to need and it ended up like an inch short so it now just dangles from a little setup I did to remove tension from the connectors

Looks silly but since SSDs don't have moving parts I see no reason it wont be fine

    I've had a dangling SSD in my machine for years now, no issues. It's one of those things you do when on a budget and things don't work out fully as expected.

    I also still habe optical drives in my machine, one of which is only in there because I no longer have the cover for the drive slot. The drive itself is disconnected and dead.

    After my last build I had to rewire the case for some reason, which was a pain in the ass. Somehow, after the rewire, the "reset" button became the "on" button, and the "on" button does nothing but light up when the computer is on. I've been saying, "Meh, good enough" for seven years now.
