FS4-PorHD and Helicopter shoot

I have tried yet again to use the FS4-PROHD as a recording device when shooting hand held from a helicopter. I was using a Canon XLH1 and had a gyro attached to the camera to assist in stability. When I play back the clips recorded on the FireStore, I get many stops and pauses in the captured clips that are not evident on the tape used to record as backup. I believe this may be related to "G" loading when gusts and up/down drafts are encountered and the hard disk drive fails to record under these conditions momentarily. It may also be a result of EMI interference. I have read ans seen advertised the Samsung SSD drives are available in 32 and 64 gig capacities and are plug and play compatible with similar ATA and SATA drives used in notebooks. I would seem that these drives couls easily be adapted to the Firestore and provide more reliable recording under extreme use conditions such as shooting from a helicopter, airplane, moving vehivcle (off road) etc. The SDD drives also consume less power and would extend the recording time of the current batteries.
Will Firestore be offering this type of device in the near future? How many other users would like to see this type of adaptation and would be willing to send in their existing drive to be upgraded (price permmitting)?
Just a thought ot two.
