I guess this is overkill as the drives are designed to handle vibrations and will self-correct when vibrations get too high using their own internal accelerometers.

But it seems like a way to test your setup and just have that peace off mind that your rack isn't slowing down or causing increased strain on your HDDs. Along with it just being a fun experiment

I'm don't know any coding and I'm not great with command lines. So I was looking for a setup that is more plug and play.

There probably is a range of vibrations that the accelerometer should be most sensitive to because they cause the most issues or reverberates more in chassis

-Picoquake seems like a neat little device, but it seems like it doesn't come with a GUI. Although it might be possible to import the data from it into another software.

-ADXL345 with USB connection (Creality ADXL345 etc.)

-Phidget, seems to have a GUI control panel

Have anyone tried to do this? Any suggestions of what I should focus on do this successfully?
