I'm an absolute noob here, but is using SSD racks for storage a feasible option cost wise and for this issue in particular?

[warrenm]

Absolutely it's an option

It's gonna cost more

But it's also going to be nearly vibration-free (just the PSU fans), and stupidly-fast

No, ssds are still way to expensive If you don't need the performance.
