You'll want to decouple any HDs from the case in some manner to help reduce vibration.

I already got the raptors man, so that part I wont be able to change.
I looked into the Samsung and it seems like a good idea. Just that it costs as much as the 200GB Caviar.
Would it help if I used a hard drive silencer on the caviar? or would it still be too noisy?
