It's an SSD, so dropping it won't damage anything aside from a few scratches.

The issue I have had is getting them to unplug from some drives and motherboards. The latch is hard to reach and I have pulled the sata port off of a few motherboars trying to get the latch to release.

My experience has been to use a pair of needle nose pliers to compress the latching mechanism to avoid this. Also, we discussed this in our community forums (http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1033058035&postcount=123), a couple of pairs of hemostats in your toolbox go a long way. I could not build PCs (or more specifically take them apart in this case) without them.

The $500.00 Intel SSD!
Just show how much better SSD drives are compaired to standard hard drives in terms of abuse and duribility.
