    go to newegg.com and search through top seller filters, then read the reviews.....usually that sorts out most options

    1. Stick with a reputable brand such as SanDisk, Lexar, Sony, etc.
    2. What is your budget? The Sennheiser CX300 is worth a look.
    3. The Seagate FreeAgent is an option. Western Digital also makes good 3.5" external hard drives.

    check out the 160gb Western Digital Passport external drive. its very small, and looks good, and only needs USB power
