One tip I would suggest when looking at an external one is to get one that had a power switch on the unit.
Otherwise, you have to un-plug it to turn it off and if left on when booting up the PC will sometimes not let it boot unless you have it off.
Not an essential but if little things irritate you like me if may help the rage.
Seagate and Maxtor drives are great value for money and reliable. Lacie are the best but expensive.

It is, isn't it? I swear I read it's hi speed USB powered.
A lot of these bigger hard-drives also require AC power as the USB doesn't provide enough.
