We have done a lot of work in the past with manufacturers of external hard drives. The bundled software is usually pretty decent but I have to say that for a film maker the Seagate FreeAgent Go 500GB External Hard Drive and Muvee Bundle takes the cake....
The Seagate FreeAgent Go distinguishes itself with its sleek looks, unconventional disk activity LED, wide choice of colours, and an optional docking station (Go Dock). Pricing is in line with the segment, and wide availability helps too....
The FreeAgent Go is a great USB 2.0 drive, Solid performance, Attractively styled, Competitively priced, Price is basically the same with or without the movie
Unlocking movie hopefully goes better for everyone else, Web portal to access movies is compatible only with Internet Explorer 7+, Movies only play in Windows Media Player 10+ or on FreeAgent Theater+, Not high definition: Movie has resolution of just 720x300

Decent transfer rate, USB powered, Quiet, Auto-backup, sync, and encryption capable, 5 year warranty, Carrying case and docking station available
No carrying case included, USB cable integrated into the housing would be nice
The 1TB Seagate FreeAgent Go performs respectably, with transfer rates you might expect from your typical USB hard drive. In some tests it outperformed the other drives on hand, while in others it lagged a bit behind. The slight differences in benchma...
Abstract: It’s now getting to that point where higher capacity bus-powered hard drives are becoming more mainstream. Storage companies slowly started creeping up to 500GB and until just recently, it was stuck there. Now they’ve discovered how to fit more layers ...
