Hey I wanted to add an additional hard drive but I only had the small laptop ones
So I screwed the drive into the CD rom tray since I didn't have any space below. Surprisingly it works well I can't move it given it only has two screws in it
Lost my bay converter years ago since holes were stripped on it

its a good enough approach and seems stable enough as you say 😀
as other example, with SSDs i have seen them taped to the inside of the case before; they're less fragile/sensitive than HDDs.
This is a mechanical hard drive, it's better to fully secure it using a 5.25 to 2.5" bracket.
