ROTFLMAO. "Proceeded"??
Nice to know they seem to be durable. They should be more
durable than conventional HD's, and they can on average
withstand over 300 g's of NON-operating shock. Seagate has a
new notebook HD that can withstand 1000 g's, and 350 g's
OPERATING shock.

I haven't noticed any speed difference, but it's also a 6 GB
drive, so I
assume that makes a difference.
Another note about this netbook:
I took it out to the parking lot to test the WiFi range and
proceeded to
drop it 2-3 feet to the asphalt. There's a noticeable dent in
the
corner. but not a hitch in the operation. Solid state drives
have
advantages for the average klutz.
