Maybe SSD is the way to go then. Should be much more tolerant of bumps and jiggles, no? (I'm not talking about drops)

SSD is not affected at all by bumps, jiggles or even drops (assuming it survives with no physical damage to the chips). Of course, cost is a huge issue as it's around $2/GB (varies a lot depending on size and brand) versus around $0.10/GB on a hard drive.
