The WD Elements 1TB drive has been getting some good reviews. There are over 400 customer reviews on Amazon with the majority of them very positive. It definitely fits the specs that you are looking for in a hard drive. If you want to see what many others have to say about it, you can find it here:

I personally own 3 Western Digital Hard Drives. Two of them are at least 4 years old and still work great.
I hope this information was helpful.

I have a 2TG hard drive but it is hard work taking it round cos you have to plug it into a power socket ect. Do you know if you can get 1 or 2TG external hard drive with just a USB? Something which is really small and neat?

I am getting a macbook pro next week and I have a lot of songs and pics on my p.c. that i want to transfer over. i know you can do this with portable hard drive or disks but can you do it using a USB to firewire cable to connect the two computers?

Answer
I know that you can connect two PC's together using http://www.laplink.com/
I know that you can connect two Macs with Firewire (the ability is built in)
I am not aware of any way to connect a PC to a Mac using USB or Firewire. Your PC probably doesn't have Firewire anyway.

While the process is a bit too lengthy to describe in a Yahoo Answers post, you can transfer your information over the network using a switch. It'll take a bit of research and learning on your part.
