Here's a very inexpensive methodto improve on the Sonata HDD grommets. At least it's inexpensive if you have access to #6-32 screws.

This might be a bad question but are you using the case, or just reusing the grommets? Are you considering a different grommet, or suspension or silent box?teomilke wrote:Hey,
i was wondering how effective the hard drive grommets that come with the sonata 2 at reducing hard drive noise and vibration.
They do nothing really for noise coming out of the drive, but vibration wise they are a world of difference from HD to case contact, but not as good as suspension.
If it is for a buddy that is not going to take out his drive every time he moves his computer, and the machine has at lease one fan, I would not hesitate to use the stock HD mount (vs suspension), I do not think it would make a difference.
