One thing to remember on this is that many drives survive by conducting
heat into the case. You put rubber in there (a very good insulator of
both electricity and heat) and your drives are going to get hotter faster.
Before you insert the rubber washers, feel the case and see how much heat
is being dissipated into the case.
