Wow, a 245% improvement in random read speeds in a server just by isolating a hard drive from the vibration of the fans and other hard drives in the same case.
I wonder if this would be noticable in a home PC with only one hard drive, not a server class drive of coure, a normal 7200rpm drive
Should be easy enough to bust or prove. Get a home PC, place it on a thick rubber mat on a hard concrete or stone floor and do a random read/write benchmark then do it again but this time unscrew the hard drive and place it on the bare floor or on its own separate rubber mat.

"Performance improvements for random reads ranged from 56% to 246% while improvements for random writes ranged from 34% to 88% for a defined set of industry benchmarks."
