It's also worth noting that while SSDs have no moving parts, it is not all that uncommon for them to fail (although this tends to happen early on). After all, billions of notebooks have been sold over the years with hard drives. During that time they have become much more reliable and incorporated technologies to make them even more reliable. I've never treated them particularly gently either. I've never had a hard drive fail in a notebook (going back nearly 20 years)due to movement.
