Two 2,5" drive in a 3,5" slot + decoupled, how to?

Hello, I'm asking you fellow silencers if there's anything like this around. I found some dual 2,5" drives bracket that fit in a single 3,5" slot, but they don't decouple the drives from the chassis, and that's what I want. Is there anything like that or I have to go the do-it-yourself way? :D

Diy i guess. I thought about it and you can make from 2 strips of alu mounts for your drives (just drill a few holes through them) and run a rubber alike thing though some holes which arent used for mounting your drives.

Like so

Code: Select all

strip - hole for hdd -  hole for hdd
strip - hole for elastic suspension - hole for elastic suspension
strip - hole for hdd - hole for hdd

Ok thanks. Maybe I'll get a cheap adapter and modify it with suspensions in the middle. :)
