<<Do note that with ANY hard disk recorder or player, if the drive is
subject to severe impact it can fail. If severe service condtions are
anticipated, recording to solid state (CF) media is recommended.>>

Note also that hard drives can fail catastrophically in the absence  
of impacts, in fact in everyday usage. I have experienced head  
crashes resulting in 100% data loss from the simple act of powering  
up a drive.
