Drive failure?
From what I understand, hard drives are most susceptible to failing when either reading or writing to the disk if a hard shock (like a fall) happens. If this is true, aren't we asking a lot of our devices to get smaller and faster but, somehow, more durable?
I'm better about not dropping my phone like I used to, but one drop at a wrong time could conceivably ruin a very expensive deivce.
A hard disk in a PDA makes a little more sense to me because of the multimedia aspects and capabilities of our newer PDA's. And I don't drop my PDA as much as I used to drop my phone, but the risk is still there.
Also, don't hard drives have heat displacement issues that flash drives don't have? And higher battery needs than flash drives?
