is it not good to store my laptop on top of my subwoofer?

[imthebadguy]

well....im pressed for space on my desk so i currently place the docking station for my lappy on my logitech z680 sub because that the only plave ive got so that i can still connect my 1901fp's analog output to it, but is it bad to leave the lappy on the sub...which can get loud at times

your common sense must be that of a lawn tractor if you think you should put a laptop on top of a subwoofer

I wouldn't worry about it getting loud.

I'd worry about the hard drive and that nice pretty magnet

judging by the op
we don't want him reproducing, not to mention he'll probably never need it.

So? Does he have something better to put on his lap? :laugh:

 

[Scarpozzi]

What's the enclosure made of? How thick is the top? Can you place anything between the sub and the lappy to add as a magnet blocker?

Also, Vibration is bad for hard drives too.

OWNED:

Magnets zap your data.
For venerable floppies, this statement holds true. We placed a 99-cent magnet on a 3.5-inch floppy for a few seconds. The magnet stuck to the disk and ruined its data.

Fortunately, most modern storage devices, such as SD and CompactFlash memory cards, are immune to magnetic fields. "There's nothing magnetic in flash memory, so [a magnet] won't do anything," says Bill Frank, executive director of the CompactFlash Association. "A magnet powerful enough to disturb the electrons in flash would be powerful enough to suck the iron out of your blood cells," says Frank.

The same goes for hard drives. The only magnets powerful enough to scrub data from a drive platter are laboratory degaussers or those used by government agencies to wipe bits off media. "In the real world, people are not losing data from magnets," says Bill Rudock, a tech-support engineer with hard-drive maker Seagate. "In every disk," notes Rudock, "there's one heck of a magnet that swings the head."

Want to erase data from a hard drive you plan to toss? Don't bother with a magnet. Overwrite the data that is stored on the media instead. For flash, fill up the drive with anything, like pictures of your beloved dachshund. Unlike with magnetic media, from which experts can usually recover at least some overwritten data, once new data is written to flash media, the old data is gone forever. To overwrite the contents of a hard drive, try Eraser from Heidi Computers.
