Update<\/p>\n
In order to be able to stack disks outside computer cases, the solution i found was this
\nI got some of those grills used for paint, bent them so that they can hold the 3.5 inch hard drive through sc4rews, then i had a 12cm tube like aluminum tube into 1.5 inch pats, then glued the Sorbothane pads to the aluminum, then i duct taped the grills (that hold the disks) to the aluminum frame, and now i can stack them above each other.<\/p>\n
Please be aware that vibration from disks affects other disks VERY considerably, i have had unbelievable failure rates with disks before this, the disk transfer rates also drops drastically when the vibration from other disks is high.<\/p>\n
You might say that disk manufacturers claim that disks are relatively vibration resistant, if you dig deeper, you will find that vibration caused by a spinning disk is an exception to this, the type of vibration other disks will introduce.<\/p>\n
Because i have many terabytes of files and backups, and because every PC i have has at least 4 hard drives attached to it, the vibration kills the performance of the hard drives, when you have 4 hard drives in a case, every hard drive is affected by the other three hard drives.<\/p>\n
What i did was that i got a pack of vibration isolation pads, some metal grills that i use in suspending the disks (so that they can get better ventilation) (grills like the ones you could use in barbequing).<\/p>\n
My hard drive failure rate went down considerably, actually, i have had no hard drives break down since i implemented this solution (I used to get plenty of failures).<\/p>\n
So, the bottom line is, turns out the ONLY MATERIAL that isolates the vibration well enough (Actually so well) is called “Sorbothane Vibration Isolation”.<\/p>\n
Anyway, here are SOME of the photos i took to demonstrate that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
