My question is what kind of specs do I need to know that the hard drives will keep working if I get into a really pounding sea. I&#8217;d like to have 40 Gigs of storage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">This is not the kind of question I&#8217;d expect a boat builder to know about, but can you send me on to someone who might have more information about this? Many Thanks, Mac <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p class=\"Body\"> Hi Mac: We have used both land based and portable computers for years on our boats, and never had a hard drive problem. I suspect if you go with a portable computer, you can&#8217;t go wrong as these have pretty good shock protection built in. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">If you are using an external drive, on a home type CPU, maybe sitting on top of the flexible foam in which is shipped would provide enough shock protection.
