Looking for a good hard drive for backup.

Hey guys i'm looking for a good external hard drive for backing up my files. I'll be storing music and pictures most of the time. I'm looking for something good and cheap if possible. Right now i dont have a budget set but i'm looking for the hard drive to be between 100GB and 300GB in space. Shops in USA only.

I've been using Western Digital for sometime now. They're getting bigger while cheaper at the same time. I remember buying a 100gb for the price I can now get 1tb for.

Yeah my best shot is Western Digital for now cuz i'm using one right now but i thought maybe somebody knew something cheaper. Because i'll be using it only for backup, nothing else.

Well I dunno if you wanna gamble it but I bought two of these. (one off CC other off paypal)

Buddy of mine loves his Rosewell....its not your traditional external but I never liked the traditional external for the fact they NEVER use the quality HDD.

I use a esata-sata setup though as I don't like USB speeds and I hate external drives for the above reason
