Costo has 250 GB WD Passport drives for $90ish.

I have 2 of them and I bought one for my parents. Well worth the money. The speed only really matters if you are constantly R/W to the drive. If you are using it for backup then it shouldnt be a problem.

I basically backup stuff on there that I dont want to lose.

Those WD drvies come with a soft zipper case, USB dongle and the drive itself.

For you it depends on what and how much you want backed up. If you are archiving just throw them on a DVD. If you want it as a constant backup in case your NB dies then go with the HD.
