I don't see why removing the case from a HDD would be harmful for it's functionality? Unless I misunderstood your question, I think you're good to go :) What I don't understand is why you removed the rubber? Some protection is always welcome for a mobile device, not?

Hi,because my old sata samsung has no rubber,so i was thinking that the rubber is just no use,and there is a small hole in the hard drive which is cover by the rubber...that's why i
remove the rubber so.you mean that i should put it back the rubber on the hard drive?

Thank you in advance.

As long as the HDD fits into your machine, it means that you're good to go.
If I understood you correctly, we are talking about an internal SATA-HDD? Just to be sure :)
For hardware in general, the rule is: if it fits, it will work :)
