Doubt EVA material

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.

Let's assume it was really pure, nothing else but a conglomerate of H12C22O11 molecules stacked one over another in layers with van de Waals (?) "forces" keeping them together in a macroscopic state at a temperature of let's say 20 degrees Celsius. Then I use 100 such tiny pieces to throw them in 20 deg water. I stir the...
