Not really much of an issue with newer drives. The G Ratings are much higher than they used to be.
Still, it'* a good point. You defnitely want to be careful about rattling them around too much. They could still be damaged, even though they claim they won't

aha! you all are right. SO with that you turn the HD up on its side(and have shock absorbsion material). the force is directed to the shaft which can handle alot, and if the bump is big enough the only thing that will happen is your computer crashes because it lost its train of thought. Yes it will still torture the drive, but thats wat it gets for being the one chosen for automobile usage.
