AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around concerns regarding the EVA sponge found in a 2.5" hard drive enclosure. Key points include the potential for the sponge to degrade over time, possibly melting and adhering to the hard drive. There are also worries about the sponge pressing against the HDD's flat cable, which could lead to damage. The material in question, EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), is noted for its durability, but its lifespan and behavior as it ages are questioned. The thread was ultimately closed for moderation due to the user being identified as a sockpuppet of a previously banned member.

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

Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
