Os  HDs  aguentam  vários G's, se estiverem em park mode (não rodando). EM MINHA
OPINIÃO é improvável que um impacto faça um estrago nele, a não ser que seja bem
forte.

Um  fator menos conhecido do que deveria ser, mas que tem importância crítica, é
a  temperatura.  Deveria  receber  especial  atenção  em um país tropical como o
nosso. Mas mal se fala em temperatura e conservação de HD's.

Segundo  o http://www.hddtemp.com/home/index.html, a temperatura ótima para HD's
é  de  até  uns  40  graus.  Se subir 10 graus, já há mais do dobro de chance de
falhas. Subindo mais, mais chances de falha. Estando mais frio, a durabilidade é
maior.  Tome  essa  opinião com uma pitada de sal porque eles vendem um programa
para medir a temperatura.

Mas de qualquer forma, há relação direta entre temperatura e durabilidade.

Se  quiser  saber  a temperatura de seu HD IDE, pode ser que você nem saiba, mas
ele  já  tem  um  termômetro  interno.  Você pode ler os dados através do padrão
S.M.A.R.T. . Eu uso e recomendo esse freeware:

que dá a temperatura e aparece no tray.

Quem quiser ler um pouco:

Disk drives are complex electro-mechanical devices that can suffer performance 
degradation or failures due to a single event or a combination of events 
occurring over time. Environmental conditions that affect drive reliability 
include ambient temperature, cooling air flow rate, voltage, duty cycle, 
shock/vibration, and relative humidity. Fortunately, it is possible to predict 
certain types of failures by measuring environmental conditions. One of the 
worst enemies of hard disk drives is heat. Within a drive, the reliability of 
both the electronics and the mechanics (such as the spindle motor and actuator 
bearings) degrades as temperature rises. Running any disk drive at extreme 
temperatures for long periods of time is detrimental and can eventually lead to 
permanent data loss.
Drive reliability decreases significantly as temperature rises above 
recommended levels

Figure 2 shows the dramatic effect that temperature has on the overall 
reliability of a hard disk drive. Derivations from a nominal operating 
temperature (assumed to be maintained over the life of a drive) can result in a 
derivation from the nominal failure rate. As the temperature exceeds the 
recommended level, the failure rate increases two to three percent for every 
one degree rise above it. For example, a hard disk drive running for an 
extended period of time at five degrees above the recommended temperature can 
experience an increase in failure rate of 10 to 15 percent. Likewise, operating 
a drive below the recommended temperature can extend drive life.

Several failure modes within a disk drive are exacerbated by temperature. 
Thermal tilt of the disk stack and actuator arms can occur very quickly and 
cause off-track writes, corrupting data on adjacent cylinders. Outgassing of 
the lubricants in the spindle motor and voice coil motor occurs at high 
temperatures (experienced over a relatively short 30-60 day time period), which 
can lead to stiction failures or a possible head crash. Over an extended period 
of time, the bearings can wear out and cause mechanical failures.

Heat can build up within computer systems due to a clogged fan, failure of air 
conditioning in a room, operating more drives than the cooling system can 
handle, and so on. Unfortunately, these conditions can go completely unnoticed 
until a failure occurs. Because of the essential nature of today's workstations 
and servers, such risks are unacceptable for many users. What is needed is a 
way to identify high-temperature situations before they affect data integrity.
