Get an internal HD and put it in an external case for big saving, with equal performance: £140 will get you:
Enermax External Enclosure
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 11 400GB

Having an On/Off button is convenient so that the unit can be taken offline without having to phyically unplug it from the power outlet. Reasons for needing to take it offline are various.
Firewire (if you can use it) is better than USB.
PC Mall has many choices at low prices :

The one feature that I feel is often overlooked is LAN capable. It will have both USB and Ethernet. This allows it to be used through a router or switch. You could use it as file server for your whole LAN .
