Western Digital MyBook Premium Edition 500GB External Hard Drive

The MyBook Premium edition is compact, employs an innovative design, has an external capacity gauge, comes with backup software, and is a speedy data reader.

The MyBook Premium edition is slow to write data, over both USB 2.0 and FireWire 400.

If write speed isn't a top priority, the Western Digital MyBook is a good deal at around $300 for a 500GB drive. It'll look good on your desk or bookshelf, too.
