Second that. I had a customer whose system would reboot if you set a coffee mug down hard on the table next to it. Hard drives see vibration as something their servos need to correct. It's a little like noise cancelling headphones. You can measure small current pulses into a hard drive if you tap hard on the case. Replacing his generic Chinese "300 watt" supply with a name brand "250 watt" supply solved the problem. I've seen generic "400 watt" supplies that couldn't deliver 150 watts of regulated DC.
