Judging from the G-shock ratings of most of today's drives, I'm inclined to wonder why anyone would be so concerned about it unless they are looking for an advanced destruction derby car or ATV-ing PC...

The thing I get concerned about (especially with anything above 5400rpm) is the platter flexing that can be experienced when not mounting the drive parallel to direction of travel (disc spinning on same plane and in same direction as the wheels). I've read some horror stories about it, and though I have yet to personally experience it, I also have yet to mount ALEXIS, with her 7200rpm Quantum Fireball, in the car.
