Solid State Drives

In discussing my intentions to adding a PC to the car with my brother (who btw was involved in HD research, HD design, HD slaes over the last 25 years) is assuring me that a conventional laptop HD will not survive in a car environment.

He went into shock damping, cold/freezing and hot weather environmental concerns. I'm in the North Eastern US, so we get a wide range of temps here.

Should I be looking into using a solid state drive for the os and data?

Im aware of the price premium on solid state drives, just wondering how the laptop drives i see people using here hold up in cold/hot environments?

Where do you live ? What type of Drive are you using? and How long has it been operating ok (or if it failed, how long did it last)?
