SSDs promise to give computer users faster data access, faster boot times, better power consumption and more. The catch is that to get all the benefits of a SSD you have to be willing to spend lots more money compared to a traditional HDD and give up significantly on storage space.

Super Talent has a new video of a demonstration it did to show exactly how well its SSD is able to stand up to vibration. One of the MasterDrive 120GB SSDs that retails for about $670 was strapped to a paint shaker and shook around like crazy.

The SSD was running Windows Vista and had a Tomb Raider game installed. While the SSD shook on the paint shaker the computer was ran continuously for 40 minutes while the video game was played. The only sign that the SSD wasn’t sitting comfortably on the desktop being still was the thrashing about of the paint shaker beside the computer. While this is an entertaining demo, it’s still not enough for me to cough up $670 for 120GB of storage.
