what type of external hard drive do you recommend for a dell laptop?

i looked at circuit city and found this, and it looks like an OK price. 
i mainly wanna transfer my music and videos from my laptop to a new harddrive so i dont start slowing down my computer...

Thanks NS

go to sams club and get a western digital "My book"   last year i payed around 100$ for a 250gb one, so i bet you can get around a 320gb one for that price.............

what ever you do i would definitely get one that has a power supply otherwise the RPM's will be allot   slower
