Hard drive recommendation?

What hard drive do you recommend? I would like one that is reliable and fast (1TB and USB 3 preferably) because I want to get one to backup important files.

Update:

I am deciding between WD, Seagate and Toshiba.

    all hard drives are different, even from the same brands.

    if you want to compare speeds, check their specs online vefore buying.

    for externals, i am partial to Seagate, but you need to check speeds, as they are not all equally fast.
