USB 2.0 portable hard-drives

Anybody got any suggestions?
needs to be powered by usb only and needs to be fairly rugged as it would be transported to and from uni each day.
Currently looking at:
Seagate 320GB FreeAgent Go Portable Black USB 2.0
LaCie Mobile Disk 320GB USB2.0 Hard Drive

Both just shy of £60

I have an iomega prestige 250gb that I picked up on a whim at tesco 'cause it was only about £30. Nice little drive, well built, even powered via USB.

Use a FreeAgent 320GB - Got it for about £40 on offer

Been using it for six months with the development machine on it, carried from home->work every day (35 mile spirited drive through the north york moors) and it has never missed a beat

cheers guys, iam sadly limited in my place of purchase due to having e-vouchers.
This would be kept in a backpack while going to and from uni everyday.
