We offer customers (like you) SSDs as an option in some models, especially for use in high vibration environments, such as helicopters. However, even in the demanding markets our Toughbook mobile computers are used, our customers see HDD failure rates comparable to SSDs (due to our proprietary shock mounting technology and exhaustive testing). We believe our rotating hard drives offer the best mix of reliability, performance, storage capacity and value. That's a combination our customers have come to appreciate.

Each are using an Intel SSD. I do feel that the power use is reduced, and that there is no rotating heads do make it more "Rugged" in my opinion. For some reason I just dont trust those spinners!

The smart buyer knows its not about the drive, its about the engineering that goes into the whole product. Nice story.
