Hello, I’m currently thinking about making a custom acrylic side panel for my PC, and I was wondering if using magnetic tape to mount the custom side panel could cause any harm to the internals.

Is it safe to use or am I risking corrupting the drives or anything?

Thank you in advance for the replies and help.

    If you’re using HDDs, it can harm them. Everything else should be okay. Don’t mount the magnet on the other side of the HDD rack.
