The smaller disks seems to be less volatile. It does also depend on other
issues. You car may be either very smooth or very bumpy to ride in. But
cops tend to take high wear and tear for granted. The nature of their job
force them to do things you would not considere in your own car.

Using RAM disks or some form of solid state disk would be a neat thing to
cope with that. Those cards for digital camera's now starts to become more
and more attractive for this purpose.
