Solid State Hard Drives

Maybe possibility of ESD that may damage it?

Unless it is a very poor design no production product for consumer use should have ESD risks. That is part of the design process. However the marketing department will tell you that there are no moving parts. It is a sales pitch. There are moving parts and they are called electrons. They are moving through an extremely fragile environment at a sub micron level. If something does go wrong it is likely to be catastrophic. ARF or Acceptable Rate of Failure is accepted at around 7.2% in industry. You do not want to be one of the lucky ones if your data is not safely backed up.

Sales tax is higher then that

I've had a worse failure rate than that with regular drives. And don't get me started on fans.

Yes I lose a HD every year :mad:
Its unacceptable failure rate IMO

Actually you want to hear the fan in my switch. It sounds like a truck with bad air brakes. Designed in of course because the sales department wanted something that sounded impressive. Dont really want it in the room next to my bedroom all night though.
