Silencing a Hard Drive Using Household Items

Posted by kdawson on from the bread-olives-and-silence dept.

Reader Justblair recommends his blog entry detailing how he made a hard drive silencer for a pittance. "This article demonstrates a very easy-to-make hard drive silencer that not only outperforms most commercially available devices, but is cheaper to implement as well. Requiring very little in fabrication skills, it is an ideal addition to a media PC or HTPC. It may even suit you if your head is aching after many hours of being whined at by your hard drive."

    It's easier yet to suspend hard drives to silence them.

    Why not just unplug the power ?

    Fans are the ones that bother me, HD's are usually just fine (I buy mid-range WD's)
