Ideal external HDD

Morning all.

I like to use an external HDD to backup all my work data once a day - off one machine & onto another at home, so that if one blows, I can always rescue the data. It's become part of my routine since one of my machines went bang a year ago or so.

Currently, I'm using a freecom 80gb mobile drive, which has proven to be reliable, however, I now wish to extend the principle the other way I.e. I wish to make a backup of my media - mp3's videos etc and thus I'm thinking of something in the 3-500gb range.

Ideally, I would like a drive that is powered off usb only, so as to not have to plug & unplug things & it must also fit into a small laptop case. Any recommendations??

Thanks.
