Go buy this now!I have a TrueNas / Plex server running on a Odyssey x86 SBC with a Seagate Iron Wolf 10TB HDD. This is mounted to a piece of plywood hanging on the wall behind my TV.The Iron Wolf HDD is F-All noisy. Even when idle it’s always active. And with it being mounted to the wall the entire wall became a sound amplifier for it. You could hear the HDD through the entire living room and the adjacent rooms and even the kitchen 😳😩I bought this HDD sound dampening mount out of desperation and OMG!! What HDD? You no longer hear it click clunking away, even when you are right next to it!! 😁I added some felt car harness tape between the brackets and the HDD and also the bottom of the mounting plate where it is screwed to the backboard. The metal used on this bracket is thin and doing this helps deaden anything else.I am amazed! I thought for sure you would still hear something. But no! With this your HDD will become nonexistent!

For the past year or so, I've been lived with a noisy hard drive. Not the end of the world, but annoying. This adapter perfectly quieted the drive. The computer is now whisper quiet even then it is right next to me. It does not come with any instructions, but is fairly straightforward to use. If you are the sort of person who knows enough to look for a 3.5 to 5.25 adapter, you probably won't have any issue installing it.The one issue I had with it was my PC case has a "easy" snap in place 5.25 drive holder, but the snap only works on the top level of screws on a 5.25 drive. From my experience, most real 5.25 drives have 4 screws per side. This adapter only uses two screws per side, and on the lower-level of the 5.25 drive. I was able to work around it, but it just made the install a bit more of a pain. I'm still completely happy with the purchase though.

This thing is pretty amazing. It TOTALLY silenced all of the seek noises that my Seagate IronWolf 8Tb wouldn't stop making. Even when I wasn't using this drive, it would be noisy as hell. This isn't my boot drive, or even one of my main project drives. But it won't shut up.Unfortunately this product doesn't stop the drive from making the constant spinning sound. It will NEVER stop spinning, so I still get a CONSTANT whirring sound, even with this drive silencer. It only protects against vibrational noises, not so much against acoustic noise, unfortunately. Apparently this drive isn't meant to ever spin down(No APM feature), I'll have to find another drive, put it in an enclosure, or some way to manually shut it down.

One of the better hard drive brackets I have used. It did not come with instructions, but viewing the picture online was good enough to figure out. I had a little trouble inserting the tray into the Dell bay because the bottom plastic holder, that was resolved by pushing it up slightly as I inserted it. Once in, it fit nice an snug, no more hard drive noise. For the price, I loved it!

I recently upgraded the hard drive in my desktop computer, significantly increasing the size of the disk’s memory. I decided for this markedly heavier device it needed an extra level of protection against vibrations and movements that might result in the drive being damaged. This shock absorber bracket is a very clever design, protects the hard drive from all angles and took me about 10 minutes to install, despite the fact it came with no directions. The unit itself requires no screws to put it together. The price also is priced well below what I was fearing I was going to have to pay.One feature I am pleased with is it accommodates an 8mm fan to be attached to the hard drive.

I’ve purchased four of these to quiet the annoying noises coming from my new hard drives. Most new hard drives have a sweep every 5 seconds to help promote drive longevity that is incredibly annoying. These mounts quieted that noise so that it can’t be heard outside of the case. Do note that the mounts protrude down from the base so that it may be a tight squeeze to install. Mount requires a 5.25” bay. Worth the money in my mind.

It would have been nice to include a simple one page instruction manual. After installing the product, I can say the product works great. Clearance is very good overall, but I did run into a small problem mounting it in the basement where the 1-2mm from the silicone standoff caused some hole alignment issues. I will buy again.

I bought 14TB WD Gold enterprise class HDD recently. Little did i know how obnoxiously loud it would be in my overall very quiet PC. It makes that clunky noise every few seconds, supposedly to prolong it's life, which was driving me nuts. I tried some DIY things, which all failed spectacularly. But then i found this little gem right here and my problem was solved! It's amazing how simple yet effective the design of this item is. Noise and vibrations are 90% gone, and i am very happy with my purchase. Best $11 bucks i've ever spent on my PC.

I bought a Seagate IronWolf 12 TB drive for my home server and the clicking was driving me crazy, even through a closed cabinet door. This kit perfectly dampens the clicks that the drive makes when seeking (reading or writing), to the point where I couldn't tell if the drive was idle or in use with the case open. The only drawback is it takes up a 5.25" drive bay, and if you add the optional 80 mm cooling fan (recommended) there isn't much room for multiple drives in the typical ATX chassis.

Ordered 2. Assembled and didn't like the way the drives sit. Holes are missaligned and likely from poor 3d printing.
