Zusammenfassung:There is disclosed apparatus for supporting a disk drive, disk drive test apparatus and a method of testing a disk drive. The apparatus (10) for supporting a disk drive comprises: a housing (11), a slot (13) for receiving a disk drive (15), and a plurality of isolators (31, 32, 35, 36). The slot is received in the housing and has a longitudinal axis. The isolators are disposed between the slot and the housing for isolating the slot from the housing. The isolators are arranged with respect to the longitudinal axis such that the slot has a low rotational stiffness in the direction of the longitudinal axis relative to the rotational stiffness in at least one other direction.
