I could use some help deciding on an external hard drive to pick up here in the near future. Just looking for some suggestions from some of you here that are more familiar with that area.

Looking for around 500gb capacity, possibly more/less depending on the deal and reliability for long term use. Also looking to spend no more than a 100 bucks, cheaper would be nice, but I don't want to sacrifice reliability like I stated above. It will mainly be used to store pictures and music, possibly some video in the future if I ever get around to uploading all my skateboarding footage off my miniDV cc.

Western Digital seems to be on top of their game from what I've read/seen...but it always seems like everything you read/review on the internet is biased. Hard to make a good decision.

Ready? Set. GO!
