As part of my job I put rugged laptops out in the AU bush and in Army
vehicles and I can tell you for a fact that a laptop HDD will NOT cope with
the type of abuse a portable would contend with. Once the heads hit the
platters it all over baby start again or if you're lucky a refomat may
recover it. A HDD in a home deck is fantastic, but not on the road. You
could use a nitrogen purged ruggedised version but no one will pay $2K for a
MP3 portable.
Viva la MD!!!
