Does EVA sponge in hard drive enclosure degrade and damage the drive?

[jonas7878]

I have a 2.5" hard drive enclosure case and it contains an EVA sponge. As the material ages, does this sponge melt and stick to the HDD?

Does this sponge on the bottom of the case press and damage the HDD's flat cable?

What's EVA in this context?

EVA = Ethylene-vinyl acetate

"A few years."
