Can you please explain this more, I believed that the hdd will fail if used in the car. I have used a laptop in the car and got maybe 3 months or so use before the hdd failed. I would like to know how a hdd can be used in the car and not crash or fail?
I know companies that uses special systems for their in vehicle units and have a 1 in 3 failure rate. I would love to have a hdd running in the car, maybe someone can show me what the life expectancy of a hdd in a car really is?
