Is hard drive hum harmful to other PC components?

Question

Hard disks

Hello. The system unit has two 5400rpm HDDs with a capacity of 2Tb each - quiet, you can't hear them (WD PURX). Under the system, a faster HDD 7200rpm (WD RE) is used - the noisiest link. This HDD has such an unpleasant property as a hum during operation - a monotonous, well-audible hum, occasionally pulsing. There are vibrations from this disk, but not large, the body does not shake. However, there is concern - are these vibrations harmful to the rest of the components? In particular, for other hard drives and do they destroy, for example, the soldering of components?

Answer 1

Pike is not.
A large number of disks in a dense arrangement can suffer from the mutual influence of vibrations. Some enthusiasts yelled at the hard drives (through the audio amplifier) ​​and that made them run slower.
You can reassure yourself by putting silicone spacers into the disc mounts.

Answer 2

Any vibration is harmful. The question is degree. And it is impossible to say how much without seeing these same vibrations, body, materials and other things.

Answer 3

noise no
vibration yes
if it vibrates a lot usually gaskets are used
