Truck pc

[Naveronasis]

Here's the idea I want to modify my existing computer to be able to be taken on a semi. The computer probably won't be running while the truck is driving and so my question is should I use laptop mechanical hard drives for more vibration resistance if I'm not able to spend what I need for ssds or because the truck is not moving while the computer is on is it okay to just use normal mechanical hard drives. I will be using three or four drives in raid 5

Id use a ssd if you can.

 

Otherwise, id just make sure the drives are mounted with rubber to absorb the stock.

I would suggest to shock mount any drives if it's going to be within a vehicle or area of high vibration, but SSD as said would be ideal.

the problem with vibration is because of the spinning platers, if they aren't spinning the problem mostly disappears

I don't see why you can't get a higher end laptop with an ssd in it.
