In my experience western digital and seagate have been the best names to go with when you're getting a external hdd, there are many different off brands you can go with but I would advise western digital over most. A couple things you'll want to make sure of would be that it runs at 7200rpm (not 5400) and it has at least a 8mb cache, this will help you in the long run. For great external hdd. prices I'd try www.newegg.com they seem to have a huge collection.

I only recommend 2 brands of hard drives:
Seagate and Western Digital.
Those are the best brands I have seen yet.
So, I would say you are quite safe going with the WD Passport.

Western Digital provides very high quality consumer products. Although I've seen some fail, most greatly outlast the competition.

Maxtor and WD are both good and yopu can get a good price for under 100 for 160-300 Gb
