Need Recommendation on a 'Shock Proof' External Drive

Hello again. I am in need of a Hard Drive that is able to withstand high SPL and vibrations. Sounds silly, but it's a major annoyance. My current external drive, a Western Digital 7200RPM drive, can't deal with the volume level that I record guitars at. Putting foam under the drive doesn't help, I usually have to wrap it in a towel and then rest it on top of the foam.

Creative 5.1 USB External Soundcard

I just bought a Creative 5.1 USB External Soundcard to get surround sound from my computer to my surround system. I noticed that the external soundcard has a microphone input integrated. I was wandering if anyone knows the quality of that input? Is it an equivalent to a cheap microphone preamp or is it as bad as plugin your microphone directly to your computers mini-jack stick?

SPDIF and External FX Question! :)

Hi! Okay I have a Firepod and a TC M300 that I want to use as External FX in Cubase! I hooked up the M300 Via SPDIF to my Firepod. I've tried the set the External FX Send and Return track in Cubase but I don't think I did it fine.
When I Insert the M300, there's no more audio playing on the track or it plays but completely DRY.

Somebody can help me out? Thanks
