Most reliable laptop hard drives (SATA)

I'm going on a trip this summer, and I'm going to buy a hyperdrive colorspace for the trip.

You can buy the bare case or buy one with a hard drive. It's a lot cheaper to buy the case and a hard drive separately, so that's what I'm going to do.

So now I need to know what the reliable brand/models of 2.5" x .4" hard drives are.

Next Generation Memory Card Backup Device
Wirelessly share photos/videos/data with iPad, iPhone, WiFi devices.

HyperDrive ColorSpace UDMA2 is the next generation of portable storage device that allows you to backup your precious photos/videos/data from various memory cards at blazing UDMA 27MB/s speed. View JPEG/RAW photos on the color LCD screen and have all the data wirelessly available on the iPad, iPhone, Android tablet, smartphone or any WiFi capable device.

- Backup CF/SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC memory cards at blazing 27MB/s speed
- View JPEG/RAW photos on 3.5" color screen (480 x 320 pixels) with actual decoding of RAW images
- File management tools like copy/paste/delete/move/rename/create folder
- Included Wireless Adapter allows hard drive contents to be accessible from iOS, Android, any WiFi capable device or FTP client
- Recover lost or accidentally deleted photos from memory cards
- Device is highly configurable and firmware upgradeable
So what about Seagate, WD, Toshiba, HGST, etc...?

I'm looking for 750GB or 1TB, and power utilization and heat are probably more important than speed (low power consumption and cool running are the goal after reliability) so no SSD or 7200rpm I assume.

It seems like there may be good and bad models in most of the brands, so that would be important too.

Thanks
