Is the best way to silence a hard drive to put it in an enclosure and either place that enclosure on foam or suspend it from elastic bands to decouple the vibrations from the case?
Also what is the best enclosure for a 3.5 inch drive? The Smart Drive? Scythe Quiet Drive? Thanks!
What is the best enclosure?

Thanks for the replys
Does anyone have any experience with this enclosure? Its the Logisys Aluminum Hard Drive Silencer and its pretty cheap.

Looks like a Scythe Himuru...which I own as well as the Quiet Drive.
Himuru isn't as effective but works a bit better with some higher vibrating hdds because the top surface vibrates less than the surface of QD.
Still QD is better at silencing hdds so that is the one I'd recommend first.
Both should be soft-mounted...I use foam.
