Help buying an external 1 tb hard drive!

Hey folks!

I just got a 120 gb sata 3 ssd ( Corsair Force 3 GT), and have been enjoying the boot times and the epic responsiveness of my system. The only problem is the size :C
I really need an external 1 tb drive now, fast enough to play games/movies from it directly and shouldn't be requiring external power supply . I'll be connecting it via the USB 3.0 port. So keep the suggestions coming...
