I wasn't trying to imply that this hard drive crash was caused by anything like what I said in my post... I was just wondering if there could be something that would cause computer equipment (inside something like the ISS) to have more failures then normal.
I know that normal Satellites need protection from radiation, but how about the system onboard the ISS?
Well I was one of the people who submitted about the ISS going down...
Basically, the whole station was adrift for some time due to a hard drive crashing. My question was; what effect in space cause a HD to crash more often then here on earth? I thought of Zero Gravity, but really don't think that would have any effect... Now Radiation would. But wouldn't the amount of radiation to cause problems with a hard drive, be more then enough to cause problems with a human being?
