No need kwa... just use elastic band lar... like those use for clothes.... use 2 piece... make a tight loop around the bay's ....twist twist and put the small drive in the middle.

Virtually free and absolutely vibration free.

Nope... I use to suspend all my HDD's in the past.. before got all those vibration isolating mounts etc. It's one of those old tricks that the folks from silentpcreview uses. The trick to it is to have the elastic tight enough.

Last time I suspend 4x 3.5" drives also no problem.
