If it does start to skip on you you might want a foam. Try running your computer and see what a hard drive will take before it skips (I know Ive dropped computers while they were running and had no trouble but the constant vibration might be an issue).

you mean this? 
But I don't advise ueing an IPOD as a bootable drive becase those hard drives are only rated for 20,000 hours or so
