Hello!

I have always heard that hdd cant take mutch vibration while it’s turned on.

Tried to find out what type of hdd my Xbox one x have, seems like it’s a seagate mobile 2.5"
Dosnt that means it’s a more vibration resistent disc since it’s ment for laptops?

Found this on the seagate page about operation vibrations: 5–200 Hz: 2.0 Gs
201–500 Hz: 1.0 Gs but i dont understand what it means or how mutch vibration they talk about?

My conserns is that we live in a second floor house and the floors is a bit soft, so when one walk by little hard you can feel the vibration to the floor and little in the desk. And i have a kid that also like to jump at the room behind my room.

Would like to hear what your thoughts is and if someone can explane what this 1-2gs means :)
 
the drives are not that fragile that one would have to worry about footsteps, kids jumping on floor, etc....

If the unit is roughly knocked over onto a hard floor or desktop, or worse yet, dropped 6 inches while the unit is accessing the drive, however...all bets are off...
