Hi Meaprs86,
I studied the hard drive fitment in my MBP, looking for movement after it was secured "properly"; per the manual, etc, etc....
After I secured the screw, holding the bracket, I pulled up and down on the tape-tab-pull on the drive and did find some play. Maybe a mm or less even.
It appears to only be on the bracket-side of my HD compartment, but it does wiggle up and down.
Perhaps there is considerably more movement, at the same location, in your unit, as I'm not sure this is what you are trying to describe.
I placed two tiny pieces of rubber at the bottom of each of the, orange, seats where the screws lay upon, replaced the bracket and checked for movement; seemed nice and tight (not overly tight, as to force the screw), no movement now.
The 7200.4 drive, seems to have settled down a bit (but, very possible my imagination) and the vibration I sense against my hand, resting on the top, is less. I would say, less intense?
So, I'm not sure if you are describing the same thing, seems yours is more intense, but I thought I'd check it out and let you know what I could find in my unit.
Perhaps, a set of those tiny rubber-bands for teeth braces wold work better than the solution I had at hand? Though, those might even be too big.
