....kids today, with yer semiconductor storage and yer pocket-sized quarter-terrabyte computers.

Regular hard drives are mostly immune to rare earth or cheaper magnets as well. I tried corrupting a stack of hard drives with a subwoofer magnet from a busted car audio setup and they read just fine. It was only after I ran the magnet over the drive while it was spinning that I did lasting damage.. And not really to the data, all I did was scratch the platters.]]>Jan 7th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f73ZLIoSOeU]]>Jan 7th 2010 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/

Well, you obviously don't live the baller lifestyle that I do. I eat 32GB microSD cards for breakfast.

Yea, too bad they're not affordable enough for me to buy one and put into my laptop which I will definitely not be hitting with a baseball bat/strapping to a bowling ball.

I get it, its a nice commercial and it is aimed at people like Lenovo customers who buy computers based on what they can withstand.

As a consumer, though, speed and price is more important. Especially the later.]]>Jan 7th 2010 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/Jan 7th 2010 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/Jan 7th 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/Jan 7th 2010 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/Jan 7th 2010 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/Jan 7th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/Jan 7th 2010 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/Jan 7th 2010 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/Jan 7th 2010 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2vsrhu1I0s]]>Jan 7th 2010 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/
Sorry for being pessimistic btw. I just can't believe the SSD would work in that state (bended?! ouch).

Nevertheless, much more important, as already stated above, will it blend?]]>Jan 7th 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/Jan 7th 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/kingston-takes-a-bat-to-its-ssdnow-v-series-drive/
