The bigger question might be, why are you dropping hard drives off of
your desk? Maybe a bigger desk or more organization is the key. At any
rate, that's yet another reason why I advocate backing up to one or
more internal drives. Even if you're a total klutz, you probably
aren't knocking your entire PC off of your desk, making "shockproof" a
non-issue.
