SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the use of EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) sponge in a 2.5" hard drive enclosure. Users express concerns regarding the aging of the EVA material, specifically whether it melts and adheres to the hard drive (HDD) over time. Additionally, there are inquiries about the potential for the sponge to press against and damage the HDD's flat cable. The thread has been closed for moderation due to the user being identified as a sockpuppet of a previously banned member.
