FridgeFreezer Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 HDD are not vibration proof- one of the major causes of disk failure is shock damage caused by someone kicking their computer at the wrong time. Jim - do you have actual direct experience of this in the situation Rog's talking about? 'Cos I've used CF27, CF25 and CF18 to datalog with MS (constant read/write activity) in the 109, the RR, a Bowler, a HiLux, a 90 and a hot-rod both on and off road and nothing has ever missed a beat. I've also used non-tough laptops and they too have been fine. The assortment of tablets & toughbooks we used for thousands of K's round Russia on roads so bad they were shaking vehicles apart never missed a beat either. Most laptop HD's are specced similarly to these - 250G shock when operating / 900G when not, that's a hell of a tolerance especially if it's sat inside a gel cushion.

dollythelw Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Top Secret Dave was mumbling something about using solid state memory with window based OS - it go by by quick due constant re-writes, hopefully at some stage he'll chime in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
