I think what you are looking for is a portable photo storage bank

Have a look at this go to:::http://www.amazon.co.uk/Smartdisk-Ph.../dp/B000FAM7PQ.

If you are travelling and with plenty of knocks then look for a solid state storage rather than HD as they can fail where as solid state has no moving parts so should survive a hard life.
The last resort is to use multiple memory cards as other members have suggested although they can get lost easily due to there small size.
