  Also I had a laptop die from the constant vibrations destroying the hard disk drive.

  Well, that’s pretty much an issue of the past now.

    It was last year.

      Ok, but it’s rather specific case if you were still using a laptop with an HDD last year.

        There are still a few use cases… mainly price. A 4TB 2.5" HDD can be had for less than a bottom-of-the-barrel 2TB NVME.

        But I would definitely hesitate to bring spinning drives on a bumpy ride.

      This seems highly unlikely. Modern HDDs are extremely resilient.
      But I don’t know the details of your situation, obviously, and it’s not impossible.

        What, like the head crashed by sheer coincidence, after eight hours of rattling?

        And at least the laptops I had with spinning drives had vibration dampening.
