Any Thoughts on Reliability?

In a discussion I had a with a friend about these new laptops a few weeks back, he
very enthusiastically predicted that flash-drive replacements will be "more
reliable" than hard drives.

I asked him at the time why he'd make such a prediction, and it came out that he
basically just "likes" solid-state technology, and he was basing the prediction on
his personal preferences.

I'm no expert on flash technology--I've been using it for decades, but I've only
had a pocket flash-drive for about a year, and haven't had any problems with it.

Is the data stored in flash as "robust" as data written to HDD?

Is there any data on how resistant flash is to corruption caused by things like EMF?
