WD Black for performance and warranty.
If possible opt for 1TB black @ 5.5k

Wd black is not available in 500 GB capacity. I would recommend wd for their very good a.s.s.

WD Blue Edition would be better if you want to save some money or else you can go for WD Black.

Sony 500 GB External HD is also not bad option, however bit costlier compared to others, having 3 HD's of 500 GB and all are working fine... one attached to PC, one to PS3 and one to Home Theatre...

It's true that 'Seagate' disk is being used in external HDD's but its 'Sony' brand and the brand which always can be trusted in electronic products... The warranty period is 3 years and I have purchased 2 HDD's from Flipkart and 1 HDD from market and from last 1 year havn't faced any problem in two of HDD's, 1 purchased a month ago only...

Take a look at Toshiba DT01ACA series drives, but they're handled by Rashi.
