I personally prefer a powered external hard drive over a USB powerd drive.
I already have one want one for portability nowQuote:

its annoying sometimes when my friends play out they want me to hop in and play some tracks and 1) its a bigger external so not as portable 2) looking for something small these can prob fit in my pocket 3) i dont want to be looking for outlets in a dark crowded booth rather just run it through USB or firewireQuote:

I ran Traktor 3 off a LaCie Rugged on an old iBook for sometime when my Macbook Pro was bust. I was using FireWire though but i have used it with USB2 and it was fine.
The LaCie is excellent and yes, its bounces when you drop it off a 4ft high table cus i did it accidently.
My friend has a WD Passport and it is falling apart.
If your gonna be gigging with it then the LaCie is a no-brainer.
I would get the WD since it's cheaper. HDD have a life expectancy of 5 years or less so they are pretty much disposable. I have a 500 WD external USB2.0 HDD and a Seagate 500GB USB2.0 and they work flawlessly but again they are kind of new. The WD was bought in 2009and the Seagate in 2010.
I use it mainly to file share with friends so they dont serve a particular reason...
If you just want to have it to carry sets around, why you dont buy a high capacity USB stick? a 32GB would serve you right and it is more portable and durable for gigging than an external HDD.
