In our own lower-budget staging of this test, we put the Crucial 32GB SSD into a portable FireWire enclosure, connected it to a Mac Pro desktop, started the transfer of about 2GB worth of Nikon D3 JPEGs, then shook the SSD madly. The transfer completed successfully and every photo landed uncorrupted.
That's the good news. The bad news - at least for us - is that the gyrating of the tester (me) caused the hard drive we'd taken out of the enclosure to shimmy to the edge of the desk and fall off. It hit the Mac Pro, followed by the metal base of an office chair, before finally coming to rest on carpet. The drive - a 250GB Western Digital Scorpio - seemed to be okay at first, but it now locks up hard when Apple's Disk Utility is set to zero out all the data during formatting, and that wasn't the case a few days prior to the Big Drop. (Update, April 10, 2008: Western Digital is sending a replacement drive at no charge - thanks Western Digital!)

That chap is just too funny. SSD can be found in all kind of fighter planes since quite some time. How he can even think to be able to strain it more than a 11 G turn followed by an Immelmann is beyond my comprehension. LOLOL
