I've just bought a 1TB Buffalo Linkstation and am finding it excellent.
It's controlled by a minimal Debian system running Samba & CUPS for file
& print sharing, has 2 USB ports to connect more storage or printers and
worked out of the box when I plugged it into my home LAN.

If you don't need/want networking then really just about anything will
do but I would tend to stick with the big names like Western Digital,
Maxtor etc.

But I really recommend the Linkstation.
