My Orico 25PW1 black USB3.0 enclosure case contains a sponge, I think the material is EVA to stick to the bottom of the enclosure. My question is whether, over time, with the 2.5" Seagate ST500LM030 HDD installed in the enclosure, the sponge in contact with the 2.5" HDD flat cable generates pressure and damages the cable.

No. none of that. It is to help keep things from rattling around in the enclosure. It serves its purpose just fine. Your ali express hdd will be fine in it......until it quits.

Wait till it breaks to worry over it.
