HDD close to PC speaker dangerous?
« on: October 06, 2005, 09:33:07 AM »
I am working inside a Q-tec case and noticed that the PC speaker is alarmingly close to the HDD mounting cage. If I were to mount two HDDs, the second one would be little more than a centimeter (half an inch) away from the PC speaker.

The primary HDD would be approximately 4 centimeters away. (2". Give or take)

Should I be worried? Is the PC speaker powerful enough to interfere with the HDD? It seems to be a rather weak magnet, but I do not want to take any risks.
