What is the portable Hard Drive do you recommend?
I would like it to be USB 3.0 and 500GB to 1TB
Thanks in advance

But honestly, they're all very similar. If all you will use it for is USB 3.0 data transfers, roll a die. WD, seagate, and toshiba are all very good and the main 2.5" usb 3.0 drives they offer are all within +-10% of each other performance wise.
I've personally had bad experience with the several Seagate external drives that I've purchased. I haven't done extensive testing, but the three drives I've owned seem to fail much quicker than the Western Digital branded ones.
I'm currently using a few LaCie drives and have had pretty good experiences with them over the past 5 years.
I have a LaCie Minimus 2TB with USB 3.0, and it's very slow. So slow that I thought it could be a USB 2.0-disk, and therefore got me to join this forum earlier this month to make a topic about the 'issue'.I've personally had bad experience with the several Seagate external drives that I've purchased.

I've used a lot of different brand names as I have several computers & travel extensively. Therefore I'm a bit of an external drive fanatic, always testing different drives. I used to prefer LaCie till Western Digital increased the quality, speed & great durability of their drives. Now they're so popular, if you shop carefully you will find Amazon, Newegg & others routinely put them on sale.

The G-Drive slim I mentioned is thinner than
most external drives and comes in a not-easy-to-scratch aluminium chassis, which should match my MBA well (yes I'm obsessive enough to care about this), but I think the USB 3.0 module is not on sale yet, so be careful if looking to buy this not to get the old USB 2.0 model.

I think I read somewhere that the G-Drive Slim (not the G-Drive Mobile, which is a thicker drive, but supports larger capacities and one of the models supports Firewire too, though 500Gb is enough for me and I prefer the thinner drive) will be released first, and the original date I saw for this was July, though the end of July is rapidly approaching...
I'm a big G-Drive fan.
