Dell Offers Shock-Resistant Hard Drive on Select Mobile Systems Customers Can Configure Extra Protection Against Thumps, Bumps and Drops	By Tudor Raiciu, Technology and Science Editor 16th of August 2005, 15:01 GMT Adjust text size:


Dell has added an optional shock-resistant hard drive on select notebook computers for users who desire enhanced system and data protection. Starting today, customers can configure the Latitude D610 notebook and the Dell Precision M20 mobile workstation with the shock-resistant 30GB hard drive. Priced at $129, the specialized hard drive is constructed with special dampening material inside the drive enclosure that can help provide up to a 145 percent increase in shock protection. This additional shock resistance supplements the protective capabilities provided by Dell's Strike Zone technology. Strike Zone is a standard feature on most Dell mobile platforms that helps protect hard drives from everyday bumps and bounces. Customers who value a hard drive capable of withstanding more rigorous handling include the military, emergency services, government, law enforcement, energy exploration and education. "Our current Latitude and Dell Precision mobile platforms, with the Tri-Metal chassis, reinforced LCD backs and sealed keyboards, continue the Dell tradition of excellent durability, and we look forward to improving on this quality standard.", said Gretchen Miller, director, worldwide notebook product marketing.
