which one is the safest external hard drive / solid state / flash?

Actually i had an external hard drive. 320gb seagate…recently i lost it because it fell down from my hands when it is connected to pc…and i lost all my data in it due to internal short circuit
…this time i am planning for a safest one please help me..which one is good i require 500gb storage capacity one..i heard about transcend external hd shockproof is that good?..please explain about the product which you recommend me..and thanks in advance for all your help.
(main question: so which one is safe though the product is damaged i can get my data back…?)

Solid state or "flash" drives do have a significant advantage since they have no moving parts however, they are still subjected to temperature extremes which may cause damage over time. I feel the cost of these drives are too high at this time. Why not set up a RAID system using external or even internal drives. These drives are cheap and you can even hot swap certain RAIDS if the drives go bad. Redundancy is the key to data safety.

    I would suggest getting just a normal internal drive, AND buying an external one to back everything up on

    As far as which won’t break the easiest, who knows. My 750 GB Hitachi 7200 RPM drive still works after I practically ripped it out of my old HP case since one of the screws wouldn’t budge, and totally warped the metal hard drive cage
