Grow Up Japan Smart Damper Anti-Vibration HDD Silencer

The Smart Damper eliminates ‘clicking’ and low-frequency rumble noises from your hard drive, as well as improving air circulation and protection from shock during PC movement and transportation.

The Smart Damper eliminates “clicking” and low-frequency rumble noises from your hard drive, as well as improving air circulation and protection from shock during PC movement and transportation. It is an innovative 5.25” hard disk drive (HDD) anti-vibration mounting cradle which holds your 3.5” hard drive safely in a 5.25” (optical drive-sized) bay. It is a premium quality product for customers who demand the best, from an innovative company specialising in quiet PC hardware - Grow Up Japan.

The Smart Damper features both gel vibration dampening on the HDD screws attached directly to the HDD itself (see diagram below), and a screw-suspension architecture on the mount framework itself. The gel mounts are incredibly soft and “squidgy” and give the maximum possible cushioning effect to the attached hard drive. This greatly reduces the “clicking” noise produced by the movement of the hard drive head servo and also low-frequency rumble from the main spindle bearing.

In addition, airflow around the drive is greatly improved allowing lower running temperatures - this is because of the extra space given to the drive by mounting it in a 5.25” bay rather than a conventional 3.5” bay. In addition, since hard drives are very sensitive to physical shock, it provides great peace of mind if you ever move or transport your PC, because the hard drive will benefit from the cushioning effect of being mounted on very soft gel mounts. Unlike products which use cheaper rubber-based mountings, silicone gel pads will not deteriorate or perish with age and temperature and the Smart Damper will be useful and effective for many years to come.

Customer Reviews

Great unit, when you get it working

,

I bought this unit as the tower I used was horrendous and amplifying rumble, I got the kit and it was terrible to setup - the gel pads are not on the unit like in picture and you have to construct them - one plastic ring, two gel rings then another plastic ring - these have to be sit over the hard-drive holes…getting the unit on them without them mis-aligning or falling over is a nightmare - they do not stick and the plastic rings can get inside your HDD if your not careful - the screws are also too long and leave the drive loose and it vibrates and hums as it rattles off the actual screw holes - in the end I used my own shorter screws (the type that fasten tower cases etc) and used only gel rings without plastic rings and screwed them down tight - in the end it worked but not as silent as it was when it was slack but this left it to hum/vibrate after short use of the drive … overall you can get it working well but u need your own screws and may have to mess around to get it right
