How about an SSD instead of an HD?  No fear of moving parts.

Any two are better than one.

Do you run out of space/cards when on a trip?  If so I would recommend moving up to much larger cards, and buy several so that you don't ever have to reformat a card and start again.  If you don't need UHS-II cards then UHS-1 are very cheap, $30-$40 for 256GB for example. 

Even with all data stored on cards I do believe it's worthwhile copying (never moving) images onto an external drive while on the go.  If you want small and light there are a number of 2.5" SSD drives, USB powered up to 2TB.  Check Newegg, OWC etc.
