i’ve got heaps of portable WD drives from the last 10 years … none of them break easily if you take care of them.
people will still keep accidentally dropping hard drives … what do you suggest for that ?
mini deployable air-bags on portable hard drives ?

Hard drive manufacturers can only do so much to make their products sturdy and reliable for everyday use … they can’t be responsible for consumer negligence or physical abuse of the product.
Be more diligent and careful … and make sure you leave in plenty of time to catch a train or plane so you’re not in a rush … and try not to be forgetful, as that can affect many other things in your life other than portable hard drives. (example: not setting your alarm clock to wake you in time to get ready to catch the plane or train … or is that the alarm clock manufacturers fault ?)
Problem solved then.
