Hardware Recommended External Harddrives?

Yeah. Currently, I've got my entire library of 24 wii games sandwiched onto my 125gb partition and really, it's plenty of room. It's only about half-full due to the wbfs compression.

I got a 500GB WD Elements drive for $50 at Frys Electronics and formatted the entire thing to FAT32, it works like a charm for both my wii and my computer...the only downside is any files larger than 4GB need to be split to work on the drive but that's not a big problem as I don't have any disk images over that and Configurable USB Loader Automatically splits the games that are larger when I rip it and I'm sure WiiBackup Manager can split ISO files into multiple wbfs partitions when transfered to the drive as well(I either borrow or rent the games with sizes over 2GB instead of wasting time and hard drive space on my PC downloading them).

Samsung HD154UI. Cheap HDD (at least in BR), works great as an internal or external HDD, 1.5TB (FAT32 for .wbfs; NTFS for .ISO backups, in case FAT32 partition gets corrupted) is great. And yes, you can reach 1TB with .wbfs files if you go deep enough. By "deep", I mean "under the ground", if you know what I mean.
