Lots of solutions here. I think the solid state is an elegant solution that eliminates the shock issues and expands the temperature range. Until recently, they were an expensive solution, but now they seem like a good option. If I was building from scratch, I would install a solid state drive for boot and have a firewire or USB media drive that was portable.

Compared to the cost of the system itself, the cost of a drive is trivial and you can afford to experiment with it if you want. What's the worst that will happen? No boot, buy a replacement?
