short, answer, yes it will cause damage, same as bouncing your computer round when its running does, its just gunna cause the hard drive platters to contact the readers and end up in disc damage, data loss and corruption etc.

long answer, depends how powerful your sub is, where your hard drive is in the tower arrangement and if you wer to fit a laptop hd, then possibly no

wouldnt have to be that loud, im known for not liking loud music in my car, but when i had the 306, and a crappy sub, from 6 inches away, could knock over an empty coke can at my normal listening volume, seen fairly low priced set ups throw empty coke cans a couple of feet. if hes got a decent sub, could easily cause enough movement for a hard drive platter to move 2mm. when theres a physical connection between it and the sub

I doubt the vibrations would hurt it but the big magnet in it should be kept well away from any hard disks.
