Install in more detailThe hard drive is place between two aluminum U formed brackets; at each side you place a thermal pad to help transfer the heat:

Then you place it inside the Quiet Drive cushioned interior:

And screw tight the top of the Quiet Drive

In the box there is a 4-pin power extension cable and a SATA data/power connector, you’ll need to use your own PATA cable if you’re using an older drive.
The PATA drive used in the photos above is an older 40Gb Maxtor which makes quite a bit of noise even when running idle. I also tried a newer Seagate 250Gb Barracuda 7200.8 SATA drive which is quite silent in comparison.

Did the Quiet Drive work? Find out on the next page ->
As you've been into to the inner pieces of the quiet drive recently I have a question.
The inner aluminium "box" is there any space for "soft mounting" the hdd in it?
With some rubber rings around the screws or something?
Or will this just prevent the 'system' to work its way?
If it would work it would be a soft mounted hdd in a soft mouted scythe. Double vibration dampening.
