Also, IWLTA (I would like to add) that the hard disks (HDD) for portables are heremetically sealed (outer casing/support is mix of metal/glass and rubber/silicone/other seals) and pressure difference will exist between the inside and outside respectively (ie the HDD will maintain pressure inside more or less upto a certain limit). Unless the pressure difference is overwhelming, it should not pose problems for the HDD operation. However, a Microdrive, OTOH could have flimsy/delicate sealing and hence may not be as tough as a bigger and more robust HDD (as that of a laptop.) - Harman __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
