In terms of ruggedness and reliability, Silicon Power does in fact meet and pass the US Military MIL-STD-810G impact tests. Their claim to survive a drop of 300cm hasn't been validated here at BCCHardware, but Silicon Power doesn't tell us what they are dropping the drive onto. If they drop it onto a stack of pillows, 70's shag carpet or a batch of kittens, the drive will probably survive the near 10-foot drop.
