It depends how much heat output a drive will generate, and what operating
system you are running.

The main concern though is heat, since the small lunchbox cases aren't that
efficient cooling-wise.

They screw in - the genuine LC/LX hard drive mounting kits come with small
rubber bushes that sit between the mounting tray and the drive shell, but
otherwise just use normal disk drive screws.
