I used an icybox one for a while, try checking them out.
It was a while back though, meh.

Just pay attention to newegg and tigerdirect and get one on sale. As long as it has good reviews your ok.

If your computer supports eSATA or USB 3.0, get a drive that supports it - you'll really appreciate the speed. Otherwise, just wait for a good sale at Newegg.

A-DATA is a nice brand of its own.

I go with Western Digital because of their warranty.


It all depends on what you're looking to get from the product itself.

Western Digital Passport.

Very nice looking. Portable. Comes with a cushiony case.

Used it for 3 years. Not a single problem.

Are you looking for an easily portable storage device? If you want cheap you can go with a 3.5'' external hard drive but it would require a separate power connection in addition to the USB port.
