>>That's no "myth". You can do it if you have no choice (i've done it
several times, actually) but it's not a good idea. Moving an HD around
is not a good idea…And even high volumes is going to affect an HD
(vibration).

So all laptop owners are risking damaging their HD and losing all their data everytime they take them out of the house/office? Any statistics to support this myth?

At what volume (db's or Spl's please) do hard disks suffer damage? How close to the sound source does the laptop have to be before the hard disk fails? Or are we off in hypothetical land again.
