Shock and Vibration

Shock and vibration are major concerns for many computer users particularly with notebooks which are susceptible to damage resulting from sudden turbulence which can result in a loss of data. Since SSD drives have no moving parts, they can handle much higher shock and vibration. This makes them perfect for countless mobile applications. SSD drives are rated at 1000G/0.5ms while the most durable hard drives, such as Seagate’s Extreme Environment drives have ratings of 150G/11ms. There is obviously no difference in this case between MLC and SLC only between SSD and regular disk drives.
