1. An apparatus of dynamic anti-vibration for a storage device, for supporting the storage device in a housing, comprising:
a base board, for holding the storage device;
a plurality of damping elements coupled to the base board and the housing, wherein each of the damping element dissipates kinetic energy generated by the vibration of the base board with the damping characteristic, so as to absorb the vibration of the base board; and
at least one actuator coupled to the base board and the housing, for generating a force to neutralize the vibration of the base board, wherein the actuator is a voice coil motor.
