Silent HDD PC case

[KnightSky637]

Hello

I just bought this (https://sharkoon.com/product/1683/00029#desc) because I have a low end case that is probably made out of aluminum and I heard that you can hear the HDD more in such cases. It uses a 5.25" bay. Later this year I might change my pc case and not every case has a 5.25" bay anymore. I saw that the be quiet! silent base 600 has silicone pads on the side for the HDD mount, I don't like the design however of the silent base 600. How many cases are there with HDD noise reducer? and what other options do I have?

Thanks

SSD's don't male noise. You could use rubber washers to mount the HDD's which would help lesson the vibration noise.

True but im not going to pay like €300 for a 1TB SSD. Do the rubber washers really help?

HDD's make noise. They also vibrate. Rubber washers will help with the noise from vibration. The actual HDD noise will still be there.
