hard drive store data via changing the direction of magnetic pole on a steel disc. a speaker produces electro magnetic force to move is diaphragm. therefore speaks can mess with data stored on disk

a router has no moving parts, if your speakers are that loud the audio waves make it shatter you had enough internet for today anyways

 

basicly, home routers are made to be able to take a beating, being on a subwoofer is a walk in the park for these devices

I've had 5 external HDDs between a pair of 200W bookshelf speakers (they are about 3 feet apart) for 4 years. No problems whatsoever lol

I left a spare drive on top of a 60W monitor style speaker for several months; when I needed it again I found no issue with the data on it, I didn't do any extensive tests on it though. I don't know if anyone has done a proper study on the effects of leaving a drive near a speaker but I still wouldn't do it to be safe.

 

Reminds me of this video from 2008 on disc vibration
