| The Bottom Line | The Plextor Shock-Proof Hard Drive is a great addition to your laptop bag: the drive is rugged and speedy and doesn't require a separate power cable. The only thing it's lacking is backup software. | LaCie's Rugged All-Terrain portable hard drive is an all-around winner: it's fast, it's durable, and it boasts multiple connection options. This belongs in your laptop bag. | Western Digital's Passport Portable External Hard Drive lets you take a lot of data on the road for a low price. | The eGo Camo portable hard drive is Iomega's first attempt at a "ruggedized" drive--it can withstand a beating thanks to its Power Grip band. Despite it lacking a few accessories, you'll be satisfied with its competitive price and quick transfer speeds. | |
