Hard Drive to Handle Extreme Cold?

**phuz** · 12-20-2007, 12:03 PM

Hey guys...I am trying to decide on which drive I want to use. I am looking at solid state drives to avoid any trouble that would be caused by vibrations, but even they have a minimum operating temperature of 32 degrees. Has anyone found a drive that will support lower temps?

Hi All!
I from Russia. We use simple disks of 2.5". The hard disk can not start at temperature -25 but when the car stands on warming up about 10 minutes all will start normally. Excuse for my English.
