It was keeping me up at night, and I would get frustrated and end unplugging the Tivo to get some sleep. I upgraded the hard drive from the original Maxtor 80GB drive to a 500GB Western Digital drive. The silencer barely fits in the Tivo, and you obviously have to install without the original Tivo hard drive mounting bracket. This silencer muffled the drive to barely being heard. Also, if your drive features AAM (automatic acoustic management), I recommend enabling that feature. That also helped make my 500GB Western Digital's sound even lower. With the combination of the silencer and AAM enabled, I can't hear the drive from my bed now. Life is good with quiet Tivo in the bedroom. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Easy installation - chatty drive is now silent *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2011* I have a caviar black drive that is known for being a bit noisy. Before this the noise was annoying, now it's back to silent. Use a bit of caution with installation and temperature management. There is definitely thought into the enclosure for heat management, but it's still padding that wraps up the drive like a blanket. I'm running hotter than i was before, but still below max spec temperatures. Rating is down to 4 stars for the gain in heat. YMMV. ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Not good. *by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2016* Requires a lot of assembly. They could have easily assembled half of it before sending, but that probably requires paying for labor on their side.What you do not see in the product picture are the foam pads (see the pictures I attached), which are the real pieces that are supposed to do the silencing. I thought the heat sink shown was some sort of a rubber mount doing the silencing.It sandwiches your HDD-heatsink assembly between two foam pads, hoping to isolate it from your case enough to silence it. The reality is far from that. My drive is still very noisy. The foam pad buries the contacts for attaching the power and SATA cables, making it hard to attach. Since you center the drive, if you have a right-angle SATA cable, you won't even be able connect it to your drive, unless you pull the drive all the way to the edge (while the instructions ask you to center it as well as possible).Moreover, it is like wrapping your HDD into a blanket. There are thermal tapes that are supposed to transfer the heat from your drive to the heat sinks, but they do not make contact with my drive. See the pictures I attached, in which you can see the the tiny contacts the tape made next to the holes, and the gaps between the HDD and the heatsinks.All in all, the mechanism of silencing may be to overheat your HDD until it fails and goes silent.Instead of buying this, you may wrap your HDD in a piece of blanket, which may silence your drive better, while overheating it just as well. This is going back. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18171546-silenx-lxhdss-hard-drive-silencing-solution](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18171546-silenx-lxhdss-hard-drive-silencing-solution) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
