When I was looking into this, the problem I found were:
1. Long boot-up time, repeated everytime you're starting the truck.
2. Messed-up files from the sudden power loss when you turn engine off.
3. Rough ride risk on delicate hardisk.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I've thought of those issues:
1. On a notebook you could hard wire to the battery (I have been looking to do a dual-battery setup also), or have about 8 hrs of time on notebook batteries after the power cuts off and a reboot only then.
2. On a notebook there is no sudden power loss, it will switch to battery immediately and will hibernate once the battery(ies) run low.
3. It only reads/writes to the disc when you are doing something with files, which you won't be doing while driving. Also, a notebook hard-disk is made to withstand some shock and vibration and this can be minimalized by how the body is mounted.
