This hard drive worth buying?

Solved by Oshino Shinobu,
How much of a help will anti-vibration mounts be here? Also, how long is pretty quickly?
It should help quite a lot.
It really depends on the drive, as well as some variable that aren't controllable. Take a look at BackBlaze's "testing" for the most reliable drives. Ironically, it shows what vibrations, excessive heat and other server-related conditions can do to drives when they're not designed for it. In BackBlaze's case, a lot of the drives (Seagate in-particular) are actually taken from external HDD enclosures, as well as refurb drives, which are clearly not designed for data server applications, hence the massive fail rate.
