I've owned only one external HDD in my life, a Western digital 160GB I got around 12 years ago and permanently retired earlier this year (it was too small for my needs anymore so I wasn't using it much and I needed to clean house), so I can't really recommend anything other than to say go to a reliable online vendor and check the user reviews on external HDDs in your price range to see which ones get the best reviews and are the most popular. As already mentioned, I use internal HDDs in docks, internal and external, but you would probably find a USB powered external drive to be far more convenient.
