I have been using a Maxtor One-Touch 160GB connected to my laptop to record. It has worked flawlessly through USB2.0 together with both a M-Audio FW410 and Digi002 Rack sound cards (both connecting via firewire). This harddisk also has a firewire connection, but I wanted to leave the computer firewire interface alone for the soundcard.
The Maxtor comes in a rugged package and it is silent. I've heard some people think it's kind of heavy and big, but it really hasn't bothered me.
It also is very easy to bring projects and soundfiles with you if you need to take them to a different studio.
