I'm looking to get a new portable hardrive, and i have the following criteria:

1) It needs to be rugged and be able to withstand bumps and bruises. I don't care if it's ugly.
2) Atleast 100 gigs....more is welcome.
3) It's powered by the computer/laptop (i hate carrying around a power adapter)
4) As small as possible while still fulfilling the above three criteria.

Any suggestions?

I've had mixed results with Lacie All-Rugged...it worked for a year or so, then went dead. I replaced with a Glyph on the recommendation of a friend. A small drop later (from about 10", onto a desk) it's stopped working. They have good customer service so I'll be able to swap it out, but I'm looking to get something that can handle the stress of being banged around in my bag, and my occasional clumsiness.
