or noise from it when you have several hundred disks in a server room..  but there are usually things that makes more noise than the disks in a server room. 

 

check that it's mounted with rubber plugs between disk and steel. you shouldn't hear a thing.

The issue is more with 'outside causes' of vibrations, i.e. a washing machine touching the desk or moving the computer around.

Drives meant for a NAS or server generally have a rating for how many drives they can be in the same case (enclosure) with.

For example, Ironwolf drives are marketed for enclosures up to 8 drives, while Ironwolf Pro drives however are rated for up to 24 drives in a single enclosure.

I see. The case has some kind of flimsy harddrive mounts, its just two "sticks" that you place on the side and then slide into a cage. No screws or nothing. Would this be an issue when it comes to vibration since it isnt super-duper tight mounted? I'll only be using two drives
