Well as you tighten the screws the bracket does bend; it's cool. I'm
not sure why it's wider, perhaps to accomodate drives like the Seagate
that have a rubber(-like?) surround. I installed a 20 GB Western
Digital in the upper bay like this, but (a) the G4 felt really
unbalanced with the weight of the 2 drives at the back, and worse (b)
the vibration produced an awful hum amplified by the desk-unit where I
kept my G4. Drove me up the wall.

Eventually, I took it out and put it in the middle bay alongside the
other drive and it was MUCH better. I had to get another cable that was
long enough to let me mount the drives side by side but it was worth
it...
