I just use double stick tape, or a loop of packing tape...
I'm suddenly reminded of a mate who suspended his hdd on a rubber band. It went very well until the PC environs destroyed the rubber. damned thing snapped half his DIMMs on the way down
well, a hard drive is a bad idea to just band in, those are heavy bois, a ssd though...
