Is this a main system drive or just an additional storage space one?
Personally I'd be thinking about getting a SATA card for my computer and getting an internal drive. That will, I'd have thought, give better performance than a USB connected one. That having been said I'd also advise checking your motherboard to confirm whether it has SATA connectors on it or not. I don't think having ATA connectors on it necessarily means it doesn't have SATA ones.
Not really got any recs for brands at at the moment though, sorry.
