  • The key search words in your (Chinese? better than rewarding Amazon with even more extra fees) store of choice I wound suggest:

    3.5" to 5.25" Internal Hard Disk Mount Rubber

    But don’t get the ones where the inner mount (of the 3.5" drive) is the same piece or bolted/screwed into the outer mount (5.25").

    The ones in my pic have fairy big rubber nips in between (each secured on both sides), 4 at the bottom (that support the weight of the disk too), and two on the sides.

    Also such 5" brackets you can mount anywhere rally, even on the outside of the case, lol.
    In one case without the 5.25" bays (at my parents, quick job) I mounted two disks on such mounts on that metal mesh between the PSU compartment and the main compartment.








  • Hmm. Overall about as much as the og I would say.
    It’s sacrifices some logic here and there for the fluidity or character plots (literally what you would stereotypically expect from USA, the “just enjoy but don’t think about it”, tho it’s a format of show where this isn’t crucial) but if you get used to it then I think it offers some fun.

    As a spoiler of what I mean, eg >!just for fun/a story they introduce a martial the ghosts can literally interact with as normal living people … and that’s just it, all of it, a one episode story … it would change everything for the ghosts, after so much time not touching anything material they would immediately be all over it, hell, they could dust/plate keycaps with that shit & the ghosts could shitpost on Lemmy 24/7 … but no, a deus-ex-machina device used as an irrelevant plot crutch that could work even better with several different explanations or small adjustments!<.
    This isn’t an isolated case, they are quite a few such examples/(a bit to centre) plot holes they don’t or just barely explore – or like explain why they can’t explore/use it no longer.
    Well, it’s just more of that in the USA version & in return you get a bit more variance (which isn’t a good or bad thing, just a difference).

    Iirc, it’s more of a half-background show for me.


  • Yeah, it’s fine … wait, IronWolves in a living space? Paired with that acoustic desk it must be like a train yard, but with more vibrations :D.

    Edit: wrote this before I saw your comment acknowledging the same.
    Well, with HDD there is the noise of the drive itself (the constant one & the searches, spin-ups), and the vibrations which can get acoustically amplified. For the former you need a case, any case, maybe a case in a case (ventilated ofc), for the latter I’ve always (since late 90s) had my HDD on full rubber, no non-rubber connection to the case.

    My current NASies all use these (in desktop cases, I don’t like server hardware if it isn’t necessary, like with disks):

    (They cost like 2 monies with shipping.)

    So if going the 3D-print way, as you mentioned, I would def add the suggestion of incorporating thicc rubber pads or rubber straps into your design, like these ones (I’ve used them a lot decades ago, the only commercial option for silent PC enthusiasts at the time, but I’ve built then myself too):

    (It’s rigid, the disks won’t fall out.)
