The way Dell has the case designed, the intake vent in right in front of the 7200 RPM drive. I can't figure it out, bugs me enough that I am removing the extra drive.

Strange problem.

Interesting, I solved the problem. I put the 5400 rpm vertical and the 7200 horizontal and solved the vibration problem.

The 7200 rpm drive is an IBM 10 gig (nice and quiet) the 5400 is a Fujitsu 4.3 gig. The Fujitsu in a Dell box prefers the vertical position. No vibration.

Weird.
