how is the vibration reduction parts working on this cage?

What I can say is this: I've been using it extensively with 4 hard drives since I bought it (May 2013) and the vibration is not an issue. I don't even notice it.

Thank you. Is there any rubber or other stuff around the hard disk? I will be installing it on my desktop which will be very close to me in a silent environment, i am trying to find a cage that can eliminate all the vibration from the hard disk.

I have 2 of these in my tower (one 4 bay and one 3 bay) and they work great. The disks fit snuggly in the bay cartridges and I can't say I notice any vibration at all. I have the fans set to run at max speed for maximum cooling (can be set variable speed) and even then the noise isn't bad. They are well made units.

The top panel of the cage is a solid piece. If you are comfortable with cutting and filing down the wires to modify it yourself, it is possible. It was not designed to be added on to.

The basic cage is well constructed, however, the latching mechanism is POOR as it is difficult to "set". Once an animal is inside, the door is solid. Fortunately, my background is mechanical design & fabrication & I was able to modify the latching mechanism to the point of satisfactory. I will probably, as time permits, re-manufacture the latching mechanism to be fully functional & reliable. I hope this helps you. BTW, I am using it to catch full grown raccoon's.

Make sure loose ends are wrapped up and secured. The tighter the straps, the less wind noise resulting from movement and vibration. Mine is used with a roof rack so I don't know how to deal with the door problem.

I've had no problems with noise or wobble as yet. I've had the bike for around 6 months.

Mine seen to work fairly well, not perfectly smoothly but good enough. I hear no squeak. It ships with a little plastic socket wrench that pops right off and can be used to adjust the tension on the leg locking clasps. You might play with that and see if an adjustment helps. I have found customer service very good. They sent me a whole new head when I had a problem.

yes - barely. I would recommend looking for a different cage - We have found it impossible to disassemble it - other than that, it is a fine cage, I would look at a different maker and a three tier - worth a little more money.

The vibration is not bad or bothersome. You will feel a slight vibration on the higher settings.

Absolutely reduces vibration. The only way to reduce rattles, though, is to find what is loose and fix it. 6 months and no issues.

Can do very much about the sound or vibration but mine got more quiet when I but rubber gasket between the unit and the wall. Also I put a 50 pound sack of sand on top. This also help with the action.

I don't recall where I've placed the manual now, but this is basically the same thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ZFzP0czM0It appears you need to use the cage bars to secure it properly.

I agree with the previous answer. After a check of all other parts it could be slightly bent causing vibration.

The air flow from the windshield is the culprit. You can try to move the front rack forward or backward. It might attenuate the vibration but I doubt that it'll disappear completely. All racks whose bars are square have the same problem. A friend added a plastic deflector to the front bar and it has reduced the noise significantly. Good luck!

I wouldn't buy this unless your prepared to modify it and re enforce it also. It vibrated apart and I had to put it back together again with better and more hardware. It works now but it needed a lot of re enforcement. And the more air the better or things will overheat and shut down and take a break.

The cage I have is divided into two adjoining sections. There are two rows of horizontal bars in each half. It is relatively sturdy but not as much so as cages purchased years ago.I ordered a few, they sent one that was the wrong color.

No. There is no vibration at all. In fact, my husband(the one who would actually use it) has already thrown it away because it doesn't work!

I don't have vibration issues. When putting the mirrors on the first time, it took a bit of playing around with them to get the wedge firmly seated when the tightening screw was tight. After the first install, they install easier and with the wedge firmly in place, I don't notice any issues of vibration or poor fit. A+++
