just wondering the life span of hard drive in a moving car.... Hard Drive in general is like record player that need a needle touching the physical plate. Notebook has some sensor to part the drive head if it detect falling... or notebook is moving... but car is constantly on the move... what prevent it from not damage the plate? Have anyone ever drop a laptop accidentally.. while the power is on? U damange the HD...... imaging hitting a nasty bump.. damage the rim.. and also Damage the HD... total disaster...
