You can also use some felt buttons usually used by furniture. I just put them on the housings of my drives were they have contact
with the main housing.
If you make a hole into them, you even can put through the screws, but don't forget to put another felt button between the heads of
the screws and the housing.

It's no solution to silence everything, but it costs only 1 EUR and it's quite effective.
