Deciding on an External Hard Drive

Hi I need some help on deciding between two external hard drives that I am looking at.

I am a student, and I have a MBP. I am looking for something that is easy to use and reliable. I just want to be able to backup my music, files, etc.

Right now, I am looking at the OWC On-The-Go Pro (OWC OWCMS8U5S1GB8 1.0TB Mercury On-The-Go Pro... in stock at OWC) and the Western Digital My Passport SE for Mac (Welcome to Western Digital US Online Store). I've heard good and bad about both.

I am hoping that someone has had luck (or not so good luck) with one or the other to help me decide. I am not incredibly computer savvy, so I really just want something that works the best and is not complicated.

If you have any other suggestions, I would be open to that too.

Thank you

All my WD's are working great so far but as you know they can fail at any time its mechanical as well as electrical.

Thank you! I think I am going to go with the WD. Upon further research into the OWC, it seems as though they actually use a Samsung drive, which I've heard to steer clear of.
