Suspending a hdd ?

Dicehunter · 8 Mar 2008 at 16:13

I was wondering if its safe with the proper tools and materials to have your hdd suspended inside your pc instead of it being bolted to the inside, there by reducing vibration (a lot) and sound, has anyone here done this ?

Yes there is lots of threads here and I posted on them what IMO was the best job ever. (cant find thread of pics of it).

Weird only 1 thread remains.

very nice but i do suggest you clean your case a bit, a light dusting never hurt

Too much effort

Things need to be taken out if I want to clean

I just bought an antec solo for my old PC and it actually comes fitted with 3 "bungee" sections for suspending 3 hard drives which is quite cool. Although I wont be using them, will use the provided drive rails with "silicone" grommets - wouldnt want the hard drive to clatter about in my case if I moved it.

wow that looks so cool, would be sweet if the rope was invisible, i mean it could be done buy using an light of the same colour of the rope, floating drives.

whats the best rope/cord to use for something like this

I used some elastic shoe laces

YOu can get that cord down b&q in the aisle where they do like chain and stuff rolled up and you cut off the length you want. Its slightly elastic.
