I would not place a "spinning platter / fragile head mechanism" storage device inside a device that is to be percussively hit by human hands ( with vigor ) on regular occasions.
By "spinning platter / fragile head mechanism" I mean a regular hard disk like the laptop ones you're making reference to.
Regular percussive shock/vibration from ongoing front panel whacking will kill the drive.
"Will" simply being a matter of time.
Unless of course you go to the extensive lengths of housing said "spinning platter / fragile head mechanism" drive within an additional mil-spec shock isolation device. ( not worth the hassle or expense )
I believe other solutions suggested in this thread to be the better choice.
Good luck.
Rohan.
