A chassis for receiving a plurality of disk drives includes a plurality of disk drive receiving stations. Each station is configured to carry out testing and/or servo writing operations on a received disk drive. Each station includes a base, a nest assembly and a plurality of elastomeric mounts that elastically couple the nest assembly to the base to enable movement of the nest assembly relative to the base. The nest assembly includes a nest configured to receive and mate with the disk drive and a printed circuit board. Each station includes a separate vibration isolating mass that is coupled to the nest. The vibration isolating mass at least partially isolates vibrations originating within the nest from being transmitted through the elastomeric mounts to other nests in the chassis and at least partially isolates vibrations originating outside the nest from being transmitted through the elastomeric mounts to the nest assembly.
