Default external HDD, needs to be online all the time


i need an external HDD 500GB +, the purpose will be to dump all my data on to that and use my internal disks to play around, i will be installing multiple OS's learning GRUB and stuff like that and doing so i will be installing and reinstalling OS's. so this external HDD should be able to take the load and stay online.
one option for me is to buy internal HDD and than a casing, the problem with this is that my friend had the same thing and it did not work properly it went ofline and once it crashed, all in all it was not stable.

can any one suggest whats the best option i have and please post the price too.

Most probably your friend went for the notorious Seagate 7200.11 drives . You could go for HDD + casing combo and use a WD HDD in it.
