If you’d have hung the new drive in the centre of the frame you would have a nice shock-resistant mount. As it is, you might experience some residual vibration due to the coupling of the drive to the frame. A nice piece of lateral thinking nonetheless.
The geometry is limited by the need to plug into the SATA socket at the back (this is in one of my HP microservers). Nevertheless, there’s great airflow! The downside is these laptop drives that I accidentally bought are pretty slow.
