external disk drives

[sunny-O0WJhd4tT3hg9hUCZPvPmw at public.gmane.org (Laura Conrad)]

I'm trying to set up off site backup by buying two cheap USB drives
and taking one to my mother's when I visit (and bringing the one
that's there back).

So these drives will be used a couple of times a month, so speed and
quietness aren't really important.  But they'll be taking a lot of
trips in a backpack, so impact-resistance is important.

Does anyone have advice about which brands or designs are best for
this purpose?

When I die and there's a memorial service, I want you to go to the
piano and play _The Man I Love_ in my key. If I don't come out on that
stage, then you'll know I'm gone.

in fact play _The Man I Love._)
