This begs the question, though not directly related to debian. For
those of us with electro-mechanical drives, is it safe to carry the
laptop while the hard drive is running? In the old days, moving a
running hd was a major no-no. I know laptop hdds are used in some
media players, but how do they actually hold up in those?
