They’re 100% solid state. You’ll be fine. Just be sure you find a sleeve or something to protect from scratches and dents.

Just because they're solid state doesn't mean they're not still susceptible to impact and thermal shock between the PCB and components. Obviously the failure rate won't be anywhere near the same as a spinning disk, but it still is a possibility for a system that was designed to not move.

> 100% solid state

The storage is but the mini still has moving parts, a fan. Still, I wouldn’t worry much about transporting it daily.
