I mean messing with circuitry around a hard drive can also be problematic

Not really. You're not messing with the hard drive itself at all. A hard drive is a sealed component. Unless you're taking an extremely strong magnet near it, dripping it, or trying to directly inject power to the pins on the drive, there is no risk of damaging it. You're messing with the plastic shell and maybe a small board that handles low power conversion and the LED. These are very simple things.
