Thats why you mount them in such a way that their standing waves get  
cancelled out.

At a second job I've recently taken on, I'm working on a system for a  
Viennese film studio (custom high res camera project, very  
interesting) that has terabytes of storage in SSD's .. its simply a  
dream to have such powerful, fast, *quiet* amounts of storage available.
