Seagate Portable Hard Drive Desk Mount Holder

Overview

This is a desk-mount holder designed specifically for a Seagate Portable external hard drive.

The holder uses 1/2-inch VHB tape to mount securely under or alongside a desk, helping keep the drive protected, organized, and out of the way.

A relief notch is built into the design to clear a weld bead on my desk frame, but it may also help fit around other desk supports or irregular surfaces.

The drive slides into the holder securely while still remaining easy to remove when needed.

Features

• Designed for Seagate Portable hard drives

• Uses 1/2-inch VHB tape for mounting

• Clean under-desk or side-mount setup

• Built-in notch clears desk welds or frame irregularities

• Friction-fit style retention

• Simple one-piece print

Mounting Notes

I used:

• 1/2-inch VHB tape

The mount was designed around metal desk framing, but should work on many flat surfaces with proper adhesive prep.

Printing Notes

• PLA or PETG both work well

• No supports required

• 0.4mm nozzle recommended

• Print upright as modeled

PETG is recommended if the mount will live in a warmer environment.

Design Notes

The goal was to create a simple, low-profile mount that keeps portable drives off the desk surface without needing screws or brackets.

The notch was originally added to clear a weld seam on my desk, but it may also improve compatibility with other desk frames or mounting locations.
