Vapor! Vibration Specifications! (finally) Check this out. The Vibration specs for Vapor! finally showed up on Iomega's new Webpage this month: iomega.com Operating 1.0g P.P 5-17Hz Non-operating 1.3g P.P 5-27Hz 1.0 G!!! ONE FREAKING G!! So, if you move the Vapor!drive in any way during operation, there is a good chance you can screw up your data. One G. What a joke! If you think these latest Vapor! specs are a riot, just wait until they finally get the balls to publish the power drain of Vapor! Iomega always seems to leave the bad news for last.

Ben, Click! vibration spec compared to IBM TravelStar's: non-operating operating Click! 1.3 G P.P 5-27Hz 1.0 G P.P 5-17Hz IBM TravelStar: non-operating operating Vibration (random(RMS)) 3.01 G (5 to 500 Hz) 0.67 G (5 to 500 Hz) storage.ibm.com I have no expertise in this area, so won't comment, except that the numbers for both products are comparable. <sarcasm> Of course there is always the possibility that neither IBM nor Iomega engineers know what they're doing, in which case they should come here for a complimentary re-design. </sarcasm> GM
