When installing a drive that wont fit the bay - I use the lower bay 
(s?) and press between my fingers a cubic peace of styrofoam of a 
softer kind and places that between the drive and the bayroof and 
once expanded it will stay forever, no need for a big chunk just 
enough to keep the disk in place. To much styrofoam would I guess 
produce heat.
That way you can easily replace the drive later as you please with 
something different - doesnt welding give off static electricity ????
