recommend me a portable external HD

I haven't bought an external since 2002 so I'm kinda out of the game. Kinda relying on the top sellers on newegg and staying within a budget since I'm only using the drive to store music, pics, and a few movies.

Drive doesn't need to be huge. I would be fine with 250 gig but a few 500 gig drives have caught my attention since they are similar in price. Would like to stay under $80. I do not have usb 3.0 so the drive doesn't have to have that feature but would be nice since I'll have 3.0 on my next computer purchase in a year or so.

These are the few that I'm looking at....

I almost pulled the trigger on this one. Price is great. More than enough size. Problem was amazon reviews complained about a lot of usb 2.0-3.0 transfer problems and cord issues mainly because the cord is proprietary to toshiba.
