>>17259681The "SSD uses same power as HD" is an old myth caused by incorrect testing. Because the SSD is so much faster, the rest of the laptop has to work harder to keep up. If you correctly use power per unit of work done, instead of power per unit of time, the SSD wins.
And the Intel 320 series SSD are specced for 1,500G/0.5 ms shock resistance, so they'll easily survive a fall off a desk. No surprise as they've got no moving parts.
