Avoid Maxtor above all others. Not that they are bad, however, it is a fact that their failure rate is highest.
Go with Western Digital & you will be using the best (along with Seagate) that money can buy.

I bought an external 500Gigabyte hard drive from Newegg.com for 142USD including tax and shipping :D

they usually are really good prices and there really isn't anything to keep away from. just make sure you get one that you have a port to (ex don't get a firewire one if you only have USB ports)
