For external drives, there's not much point in SSD, the price will be ridiculous and the transfer methods will ensure that you can't really take advantage of the biggest plus for SSD; the speed.
Go for a regular HDD, WD, Hitachi and Samsung are all solid, I have the most experience with WD though, I have never had one fail on me, I even have two Greenpower 1TB discs that I bought in 2009 and they're still fine (internal though).
