Customer Reviews

Works as advertised

Nexus DiskTwin works surprisingly well. After installing it, I can barely hear the HDD when it’s reading/writing.

VERY GOOD AT REMOVING VIBRATION NOISE

Simon Roberts, 13th September 2012

I was surprised at how much difference these made. I have a sound-insulated case but poorly-mounted disks generated a lot of noise, Now I can’t hear them.

My only gripe is that the screws provided weren’t a perfect fit for my disk drives.

Excellent.

It does the job. Easy install. Fits in tight. This is my second purchase from quiet pc. Fast shipping, great products.

Excellent

James Doermer, 20th July 2011

As I believe a previous reviewer has mentioned, these things jam in tight. This is a nice feature so that you don’t have to worry about the holes lining up. I was concerned that my case - with a tool free clip design - might not have the typical screw hole positioning. As it turned out, I did have the appropriate hole configuration, but it isn’t even necessary to clip the HDD in.

While these things definitely reduced HDD noise it turned out that I was getting more seek noise than I suspected - thus, these didn’t completely quiet my HDD, which was totally understandable. So, bear that in mind if you get these for a faster drive (I have WD Black 7200 RPM in AHCI mode).

My temperature on the HDD stayed essentially identical to its previous installation. This is fairly interesting as it was previously directly behind a 200mm fan and it now receives no active airflow. I benched it to see if this was just the case in idle, but it appears to be roughly identical even under stress.

OK if noise is due to poor tower design

Paul Bartley, 16th January 2010

I tried this unit - in my case the HDD noise was due to poor case design and a lot louder than normal… this unit worked and reduced noises to what they should be normally in a tower… but, in an average (less amplifying) tower I don’t think it would reduce noise much if at all - these sort of things are more for when you need more HDD space and want to use 5.25 bays….
