I have a device like this and it supports heavy gpu inside my pc. Wery usefull and nicly built thing made from metal. But the consern is it has a magnet on botom side, so it sticks to metal surfece inside the case. Wery usefull again but my hard disk is under that metal surfice. So i wonder can it corupt data or damage hdd itself..?!

It doesnt have any branding and site that i bought it from is local site that operates only in my country.. So cant realy give you the exact product name or anything. It just sad gpu holder. But it shouldnt be hard to find now that you know how it looks..
