So im in the market for an external HD.

From what I have researched already, im in the market for a "portable external HD" if that makes sense?
I do not want to carry around a AC adapter wherever I go, I would prefer to just be able to plug in the HD with a usb.
I guess size is important to me aswell, since I do not want to be carrying around a xbox sized HD everywhere I go.

I need the HD to be Windows and Mac compatible. I have been looking at the 500 gb / 1TB spec HDs, which should give me plently of room to operate with.

Friends that I have spoken to have told me Seagate is tops in the HD world, followed by WesternDigital.

So techies of CDC, which external HD do you recommend? or which brands should i stay away from?

I look forward to hearing your input

Thanks
