G'day
I am using a CF card asmy boot drive here in Australia for the past 8 months and everything is working fine.
I still have a HDD in my computer as a storage drive / backup drive and it has been in the car for over a year with no problems. I have mounted the drive using rubber mounted screws to avoid vibration damageas much as possible. I run 4WD Tours and Training through out Australia and the car has been subjected to some severe weather conditions ranging from -10 C to +55 C and the HDD has started every time with no problems.
I agree that SSD would be the ultimate for the car environment though the price is pretty huge compared to the cost of a standard hdd. I am begeining to think that the most cost effective solution for me is to run a 4Gb CF card as boot and then a 16Gb usb flash drive as storage. No moving parts and good life.
Cheers
