What are some of your favourite/recommended external hard drives to bring to club gigs?
i for my self heard only good things about the lacie rugged series (http://www.lacie.com/de/products/range.htm?id=10036), but i don´t own one. i use some western digital passports. i´m using them for over 5 years and they never let me down.

I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
+1 Lacie rugged
+1 for Western Digital.
I don't use one for DJing but the "customer care" is really nice with them.
Upgrade your internal or add a secondary internal for gigging
The less crap to hook up and get unplugged the better
Couldn't agree with Xone more, I think there's an article on the front page on how to replace your cd drive with a hard drive
Western Digital 1 tb with the WD rugged case FTW
13" Macbook Pro i7/8gb/750gb :: Traktor S4 + F1 + Pro 2 :: Allen & Heath DB4 :: Allen & Heath K2 :: Midi Fighter Classic :: Midi Fighter Pro (BM) :: Midi Fighter 3D :: Pioneer RMX1000 :: DJM800 :: 2 xCDJ1000mk3 :: Beats Pro + Beats Studio
+1 its too unreliable, I have done it for a few gigs but on tender hooks I prefer my USB bandwidth be dedicated to controller+soundcard.
I do however bring a Maxtor Caddy with a Clone of my OS and Music on it "just in case" ... worst case scenario I can borrow a Mac from somewhere if mine goes down, boot from it and be up and running 100% in no-time.
And replacing your CD drive is Deffo a great option if you don't use it much.
