External Hard Drives

Following the epic failure of my Seagate Barracuda last week, coupled with my sheer stupidy for not backing up my 10k of photographs on there, I'm now looking for an external ~500GB hard drive to back stuff up on. I don't need any fancy backing up software as I favour the copy/paste method and it's only photos and music I'll want to back up anyway.

What would people recommend? My budget isn't endless, so I'm looking for an economical solution.

I've found the following in the £60-£70 price bracket, but I've no idea what I'm looking for really. They all have good reviews from buyers:

Any advice/suggestions?
