Any external hard drive which your hardware supports. Most external drives work via USB which is universal so any USB drive will work. If you get a USB3.0 drive it will work with any computer but if you don't have USB3 ports you won't be able to run it at the faster speed of USB3 (a USB3 drive plugged into a USB2 port will work like a USB2 drive)

The one thing is that a Mac version won't be recognized by default because Windows won't read the Apple format. That drive can still be re-formatted to the Windows format of course. However, any external drive that isn't explicitly marked as a Mac-compatible version will work right away.

Thank you fr the information. I am puzzled because Seagate, for example, does not include Windows 8 in their system requirements, nor do they put the logo on the box.
Windows 8 is essentially the same as Windows 7 in a lot of low-level ways, and external HDD support is one of them. Backwards compatibility is important to Microsoft
