Im in the search for a quality external hard drive of 250GB. I was browsing on Ebay for some but there are so many different kinds and prices. I don't want to guess and pick one of the cheapest ones or one of the most expensive ones and be dissatisfied when I use it.

So far all I know is I want one with: USB 2.0 and firewire capability, 7200 RPM, and 8MB cache for use with WinXP. Another thing I was looking for but didn't find was one which had plug n play capability, like a USB stick, but it seems like everyone needs software to operate.

I suggest Maxtor OneTouch, there is the datasheet: http://www.maxtor.com/_files/maxtor/en_us/documentation/data_sheets/onetouch_data_sheet.pdf, just for a look. Which quite suitable for your requirements.
