I find the Lacie D2 and FA Porsche range of hard drives to be good.

The D2 (http://www.dabs.com/uk/productView.h...JCW&familyid=0) are fairly large, but are fast and support connection by USB, USB 2, Firewire 400 (the standard used for attaching camcorders) and Firewire 800 (twice as fast as USB 2 or FW400, but very few PCs support it).

The FA Porsche (http://www.dabs.com/uk/Search2/Produ...chphrase=lacie) is physically smaller, cheaper & only supports USB or Firewire, but they are still good, and apparently don't need a power supply.
