I have a device like this and it supports heavy gpu inside my pc. Wery usefull and nicly built thing made from metal. But the consern is it has a magnet on botom side, so it sticks to metal surfece inside the case. Wery usefull again but my hard disk is under that metal surfice. So i wonder can it corupt data or damage hdd itself…?!

    Wait really? I used to work at a place where we cleared out HDDs with a degausser. I’m pretty sure that thing wasn’t as strong as a car junkyard magnet.

      Degaussers use varying magnetic fields in a specific way, it’s not raw field strength doing the erasing.
