    TexasCreole,

    The Western Digital passport's a good backup drive for any machine. Here's a variety of them: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ssport&x=0&y=0

    TexasCreole,
    I'd recommend an external HD via Firewire instead of USB. Im pretty sure Western Digital offer these too. My reason is because I use a USB Ext HD and when you wanna back-up huge files (movies, music, etc) it takes a while,, Whereas via Firewire, the speeds are up to 400MB per sec.

    Good Luck
