My personal preference is a Western Digital "MyBook" drive, try www.pixmania.co.uk for good prices.
If you use the drive as external storage more than "running stuff from" access time less important. But it's essentialls how long (on average) it takes the read heads to get to right place to read the data.
Basic USB version of the MyBook :

This one has USB and firewire

This one can connect to a network. ( I am tempted to add this to my collection, I have 1 of each of the other 2 (both 500G) )
