My cousin had an external Hard disk once where he stored all his photos, videos and personal stuff. The hard disk was designed to stand upright on its narrow side. Unfortunately, his baby daughter passing nearby, knocked it on its wide side…the disk did not fall from any distance...just a 90 degree flip on its side and that's it…all his saved data were lost…his only cop of stored pictures and videos were lost forever ..he tried sending it for service but didn't work out…that was just beyond a terrible mishap!
Since that incident, I only buy rugged hard disks that I can resist falls and spills and the sorts, one of the new hard disks released is the Simple TOUGH 500GB and I quote the description from their site: -
"We live in a rough world so why not take your data with you? SimpleTOUGH is the ultimate in durability and data safety, all in a ruggedly handsome design. Made with a rough and tumble lifestyle in mind, SimpleTOUGH features ergonomic sides for easy carrying, velvety smooth rubberized body, an integrated, flexible USB cable (you’ll never forget the cable again!) and a cool topside LED.
But don‘t be fooled by its stylish exterior! Designed and constructed for an active lifestyle, SimpleTOUGH won’t let you down. Award-winning Hitachi disk drives ensure that your data is safe and sound. Just plug one in, and inside you’ll find smart ways to protect and manage all your precious stuff. SimpleTOUGH features both local and online backup for unbeatable, total protection. With Hitachi Local Backup software, you can set up automatic backups from your computer to your SimpleTOUGH, while Hitachi Ultimate Backup (2 GB fee) provides secure, online backup that’s safe from real world mishaps. It works in the background, for constant, near-real time protection without bogging down your computer.

Now, I have been through many sites offering this great hard disk and they were all more or less around $120-135, but then i found it at ecost.com for $93 so there you go, the best bargain I found: -
