External hard drive recommendations?

[Psych1]

I need a big, 250-300, external drive, for DVD files, to connect to my laptop. I have USB 2.0 and Firewire ports. I want a good one - quality more important than price - within reason.

What do you guys/gals recommend?

Thank you.

I have a "Maxtor" 300 Gig external USB II Hard Drive. Works great...
