Quick question. I know this is not ideal, but I have a 15 drive server chassis.

I have came into ownership of some new drives.

I have now 16 in total (2 pools of 8x).

My server chassis has TONS of space where I could fit the spare 16th HDD.

How bad is it if it's not screwed in and secure in a caddy?

Super bad? Or just not ideal?

With tariffs etc. a new 20 drive chassis is expensive!
