I'm looking to pickup an external harddrive to carry on trips and install Overland Navigator software and maps on it. I like the idea of something rugged and portable but I have no experience with this setup. I'm thinking something in the range of 3-500 gigs should be plenty of space dedicated to navigation only.
Are the "rugged" harddrives worth the extra money, or is it generaly overkill? This looks intresting, maybe overkill though?

I'm also looking for the simplest plug n play design if possible, and something that will work well enough with an older laptop on XP.
