I think this is the perfect solution for archiving data.
I have over 200GB of home videos I want to keep safe. Right now I'm using an external hard drive formatted to exfat. Since I'm on a Mac, exfat lets me use it on any system.
Historically drives have used CSS (Contact Start/Stop) mechanisms which allow the recording head to ‘park’ on the platter when it’s not spinning. RDX drives use Ramp Loaded Heads which come off the platter completely when they aren’t reading or writing to the disk. This has a couple of major advantages; because the head is locked down the drive can support a drop of up to 1m onto a tiled floor. It also eliminates ‘Stiction’.

The head/arm and cartridge has value-added engineering, so it's ruggedized and built to withstand dropping on a hard surface. Check out the RDX Xtreme videos.

Isn't the hard-disk head parking standard to all laptop class HDDs?
