Comment on Can magnet damage hard disk?

Yes magnets can affect HDDs. But it needs to be very strong and close to the HDD. I wouldn’t worry unless you are directly attaching it to you HDD and even then it probably won’t do much if anything at all.

Remember HDDs already have strong permanent magnets inside them. Probably way stronger then the one on the bottom of that support.
