Hard Drives are robust, but...
IMHO, carrying around a running PowerBook (heat issues aside) is just not a good idea. Take a look at some of the specifications for Hitachi (IBM) or Toshiba's laptop drives. The operating specification for the amount of motion (shock) they can sustain is only about 12% of the non-operating shock. (200Gs-2ms vs 800Gs/1ms on Hitachi TravelStar drives) I'd definately not recommend putting your 'book in this headless mode to carry it around.

It also depends on what the drive is actually doing when it's taking a beating. If it's trying to write something, you might lose some data... but I think head crashes are pretty rare these days. ;c) |
