Hard drive controller manufacturer: VLSI Technology, Inc. PCMCIA disk drive sustains 1000 g's non-operating shock (vs. 100 g's for typical notebook competitors). The OmniBook 600 design requires additional durability because its light weight and size makes it easy to take wherever users go. Hard drives typically have a higher failure rate then other components due to shock. PCMCIA hard drives stand shock and vibration better then any other hard drive. PCMCIA Hard Drive Advantage:
