Western Digital do some good ones, I've used a few of my mates (don't know the models but they where 500GB ones). Im sure there was a offer for a 1TB one on play.com.

Yes its here: http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/2144/1411/-/6459606/Buffalo-1000GB-1TB-DriveStation-TurboUSB-With-Power-Saving-Mode-USB-External-Hard-Drive/Product.html?searchtype=genre

Western Digital 500AAV I recommend, 500GB and it settles me just fine for film downloading etc.

Western Digital or LaCie all the way.
Or Kingston (I don't know if they do HDD's but their flash drives are awesome).
Freecom is a big no no though, I've had loads of 'em and they tend to overheat or get really fragile in transport. On the other hand, I've had a LaCie Big Disk II for a yearish now and it's been absolutely fine.

I would go with that. Little more than some but they take a good bash i can say that now. We have some at school and i have dropped them and all sorts still going strong after 3 years.
