Wow! I did not know that. I actually thought it was the other way around. It makes sense though when you stop to think about it because the solid state drive is made up of a chip with delicate micro-circuits and the regular drive is a metal disc.
On an episode of the show 24, there was a company that wanted to conceal evidence of something or other and did an emp to fry all of its computers. I wonder if there really are companies that have that capacity? If so, we not only need to worry about foreign military emp's but also domestic ones.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32558368 While it's not technically EMP, here is a video and article of real-life capability: [ link to www.boeing.com] Do a search on Boeing CHAMP for more hits. That is actually quite scarry. Imagine being in the vicinity of the target and getting your equipment fried? Although Champ is mounted on a missle, I imagine that it can also be mounted on a drone. When the US decides to fry a domestic enemy's equipment, anyone in the area will also get hit. Not too cool if the bad guys are in a big apartment complex because the emp would likely take out everyone else's equipment too.
