This. Very true. If you don't plan on moving the HD around too much, I'd go with the desktop. Sucks you have to plug it in to AC, but they have full sized desktop HDs in them which generally take a lot longer to wear-out or breakdown than the portable ones (which have latop HDs in them). Also generally more capacity for the $$$.
