Given that the 2.5" drives are supposed to be more shock resistant, they sure fail often enough. I have one laptop that is on it's 3rd drive. My car PC is still going strong with it's 3.5" drive over the same time period.

I mounted it to the top of the case using rubber grommits in the mounting holes to give it some vibration isolation. Mostly I did it for the noise reduction though.
