Portable external hardrive

[mrmoose]

Hi guys I'm in need some advice.

I'm looking for an external hard drive I can use to keep a backup of all my music on (~150gig at the mo) and to take to party's and clubs to play from instead of taking my laptop all the time. Now my music is stored as 320kbps mp3 or wav files and I want it to be self powered through the usb.

Would there be any options with playback of the wav files through the device as It's not the coolest thing to have something dropping mid set in a club.

What would drive would you recomend?

Budget upto £80.

AFAIK most 2.5" drives can be powered from a hub so any of these that are 2.5" should be ok:

I switched the hdd in my laptop for a faster one and now use the old drive as a portable backup, something to keep in mind perhaps

Edit - Looking through the options, I think this is bus powered:
