I suggest to buy a plain 1TB HDD and then order an USB 3.0 enclosure case on eBay from China. It will be a little cheaper.

For backup, Seagate will do, but otherwise, if you can afford it, I would recommend a Hitachi drive (since those tend to last the longest, but are also more expensive). WD also has excellent external HDDs, a few of which I currently use.
Hitachi is acquired by Western Digital (WD) and Samsung is acquired by Seagate, so basically only three true brands left:
-Western Digital (WD)
-Seagate
-Toshiba
