Hi, i need an external hard drive for travelling with. Needs to be 200ish Gb and as small and neat as possible, any ideas guys?

Reliability is also highly demanded for this as it will be storing a lot of raws and important docs
 
It might be a bit of a problem trying to acheive all of that in one unit. Rugged and small normally points to a 2.5" laptop disk based unit but that'll limit you to 160Gb at the moment. Above that you're into 3.5" desktop drives which are bigger, slightly less robust and most importantly need an external power brick.

How important is the 200Gb figure?
 
Thanks for all that info, didnt realise that 160gb was the limit.

What would my options for small if i dropped my storage size requirements? Do i sacrifice ruggidness for the drop in capacity?
