Noisy (Vibrating) HDD

[BogomilBG]

Hello! I have old Hitachi 500GB drive that vibrate and make some noises (transfers them to the case) The HDD smart status is ok. My PC Case is DeepCool Tesseract SW and the HDD is screwed, any idea how to eliminate the vibrations?

If the vibrations/noise get worse and worse I'd consider backing up any important data just in case the HDD is failing.

"...I have online backup anyway..." Excellent, you have backups; I wonder what will happen if the online is not available and/or the internet connectivity is broken -- what happens then?

I will access my files when the issue is fixed ?

"I will access my files when the issue is fixed?" That will be AOK for most home OS and most home Data partitions.
I was wondering about those with huge data files and/or working in an office.
