I am not so sure about this statement. The newer drives are far more
ruggedized and superior in constuction. For e.g. the newer EE25 are
designed to "operate" @
1) Operating temperatures of =9630=B0C to 85=B0C
2) Operating altitudes from =961000 feet to 16,400 feet
3) Operating vibration up to 2.0 Gs
4) Long-duration (11 ms) shock capability of 150 Gs

where as the older ST9385AG:
1) Operating temperatures of 5=B0 to 55=B0C (41=B0 to 131=B0F)
2) Operating altitudes from =961,000 ft to 10,000 ft (=96300 m to 3,000 m)
3) Operating vibration up to 0.5 Gs
4) shock capability of 100 Gs
