How to reduce hard disk noise and vibration

By Askinas on May 25th, 2011

The cheapest and most efficient way to reduce computer noise caused by hard disk vibration. I’m not an expert, but your hard disks will be healthier and you will eventually hear less noise from your computer. As you will see in the video, air circulation will not be a problem as well. Actually you will have better air flow around hard disks. One more thing; your disks will be better shock proof. I hope you like the music ;) materials used/can also be used : elastic band grabbed from a dirty and stinky underwear ;)

This video shows you how easy it is to install a 3.5″ SATA harddisk in the Playon!HD.

    @windson7 lol man I like music, actually I farted a lot while making this video :) are you sure you still want to hear?

  9. mproductionsmusik on May 25th, 2011 at 7:45 pm

    great video! i may try this very soon or create a other noiseless system. the only problem with this setup is you can’t carry your PC without dropping all your HDD.. you should add other band or some thing on the front and back of all your HDD.. =)

  20. Sagittarius22NL on May 26th, 2011 at 1:52 am

    Looks nice, though you probably have to be careful with moving your PC after you’ve done this.

    But a nice and cheap solution if you have problems with HD noises :D

    @animal1853 in the Mini there is no space for the harddisk, so u better get the Playon HD;)

  30. animal1853 on May 26th, 2011 at 7:41 am

    Hey!

    I wonder whats different “A.C. Ryan PlayOn!HD Mini Media Player or AC Ryan Playon HD” ? Which one should I buy if I wanna install a Harddisk

  31. AbPasman on May 26th, 2011 at 8:07 am

    @FireOFK There is a fan in there,I have it on for 24/7 as a nas-server. Works fine. Only thing is there is no gigabyte ethernet controller, so the speeds of my network are a little disapointing ( around 6/7 mb/s. ) Audio video and pictures are no problem for it, what ever resolution and quality, hd audio also in passthrough…

  32. FRURMELLL on May 26th, 2011 at 8:56 am

    @FireOFK Yes there is a fan inside. And a very tiny heatsink.

  33. myoonsean on May 26th, 2011 at 9:39 am

    how much is this cost in the area? Malaysia is about MYR600.00

  34. SilverShadow2k6 on May 26th, 2011 at 10:10 am

  35. SilverShadow2k6 on May 26th, 2011 at 10:30 am
