Also Samsung 20X, 24X and 32X drives are especially quiet. The CD cradle is
mounted on flexible rubber bushes and serves as a vibration isolator, unlike
many of the competition. One should also be aware that the disk itself can
influence the level of vibration. My 'Cover disks' with their large silk
screened logos seem very unbalanced compared to 'Gold CDs'. I agree wih the
point that a cheap case is best avoided  - I service one particular pc where
the top cover vibrates continually whilst the 16X Hiatchi cdrom is spinning
 - despite my best attempts to prevent it doing so (save perphaps the use of
self-adhesive tar pads intended for the Automotive industry!)
