A yes, a valid concern. The usb wire alone weights approximately .5 ounces. Add in a hard drive and we're talking weight upwards of 50 grams.

It's not crap and it due to gravity it doesn't float.

Since you're not bolted down that would mean you're a floating piece of crap in your car?

I'm strapped down, so no.

Strapped does not equal bolted.

So you'd be okay if your engine was held in by a strap that was bolted rather than a direct bolt?

Regardless, the argument has gotten off tangent. The hard drive I have is strapped to the side of my glovebox and does not move around in the least bit. I considered bolting it, but it seemed like overkill.

I'm sitting on the couch watching breaking bad and don't feel like walking out to the garage. I will take a pic later. However, if you must know, my definition of strapped involves a single piece of duct tape.

I wasn't really worried, but now I am. Don't turn into one of those 1000lb persons that can't get up without crane help.
