Wrong, the bernoulli box is immune from head crashes because it the heads are designed to be able to hit the media, but they are not always in contact with the media. They achieve their faster turning rates over floppies by forcing air under the heads. > No doubt the Bernoulli box is a good product, but its strengths lie > in its removable media and ruggedness, not in its speed and performance. Well, it is better than floppies.
