I guess it could, but I'm pretty sure not in this case -- ha, literally 
not in this case.   Everything was in a very nice and solid Antec case, 
and the HDD enclosure used four large soft gel-like washers between the 
HDD and the metalwork.  In addition the first HDD was a 10KRPM job and 
the second was 7200RPM, so whatever frequencies they might resonate at 
would be different.  The 10KRPM lasted months but the 7200RPM guy was 
killed within a week.
