    Here is what I need...

    120GB or Higher
    Try light
    Try for small
    would like 7200rpm, but ive heard that makes it vonerable to loosing data?

    Its going to be carried around alot (in hand/purse/car) -Purse not me. lol - doing this research for someone else.

    It might be dropped a few times, i dont plan to, but it needs to be durable enough to survive a few drops and still have all data.

    this is for backup of a buisness, so i really need it to be durable and reliable so if something happens to thier computer, we can get the info back.

    I would like it to be totally USB powered so it doesnt need an AC plug, but thats not nessensary.

    I need it to be under $200 - if not you can knock off small and light-

    I want to put emphasis again on durable and reliable. And portablility.

    --Thanks every1 in advance
