I missed one -- http://www.silentpcreview.com/tichepc-hdd-vib-killer -- and it will go on the list shortly. Honestly, we don't know of any others worth considering. We HAVE tried many other devices that never got reviewed, weren't worth the time/effort, they were so obviously ineffective.Sylph-DS wrote:Hooray. Well timed! I've been intending to replace my ancient data drives. Thanks!
Is there any chance of the HDD enclosure list being updated? I think most of the ones on it currently are no longer available.

More confirmation of this assessment.Das_Saunamies wrote:Regarding enclosures, I think the time for internal 'silencers' is drawing to a close. As smaller form factors like µATX and mini-ITX become more popular, there's just no space left (RIP 5.25" bays; note plural), so it'll be soft-fix (elastic band etc.) or nothing. SSDs are also slowly but surely taking over as system drives, so you won't even have a pressing need for an internal HDD anymore. I think the latter especially are contributing to any decline in the HDD peripheral market.
Obviously SPCR should be the entity to test any contenders left, but it just seems like that train's gone as far as it will go.
Mike, both of these hard drive enclosures have been discontinued. Silenx Still has some stock, but after that it is gone, no more. I do not forsee anyone making new ones with SSD’s going down in price.
