    HDD noise dampening

    Apologies if this is in the wrong section!

    My HDD's are currently mounted at the bottom of my Bitfenix Prodigy M, I'm currently having a fun time listening to them vibrating through the entire case, is there anything I can do to eliminate this noise?

    Thanks.

    If you're not using the optical drive bay you could soft-mount the HDD in there to dampen the vibration.

    It looks like the HDD would be lying on top of gromments, then screwed down. If that is the case, loosening the screws slightly might help, just remember they're loose when you're moving the system or whatever!
