Case making vibrations

[medar]

I have a MS Hunter case its a simple case but when I install my hdd the whole case vibrates a lot. I screwed it in with 2 screws and made sure the screws are in all the way but still it vibrates idk how to fix it. I will buy an ssd but I wanna still use the hdd for games and I dont like it vibrating my case xd

It can't be that bad that the whole case vibrates on your desk are you sure the HDD is fine ?. Also HDDs have 4 holes for screws may you have not secured the hard disk properly. There are 5.25'' bays for 3.5'' hdds that are supposed to dampen the vibrations.

 

In any case you should not have any vibrations something else is wrong. Does it happen with all HDDS or just that particular one ? try to mount another HDD for testing

if your HDD is making the whole case vibrate?  Get a new HDD.  There's no way that's the sign of a healthy drive.

For the most part?  Not really.  At least not with one or two drives.

 

Like, if you touch it while it's working, you can tell, but it shouldn't vibrate your case.  What case are you using?

 

Edit:  Just saw, MS Hunter.  Are you using the horizontal enclosure at the bottom front?

We used to hang HDD's on elastics. Those that keep your pants up May not look nice, but it soaked vibrations to near silence.
