You should be able to back up your iTunes nicely on that Lynnie! 
I use Western Digital, the basic ones, but I don't throw them around. They make some that are designed to take a beating, but they are bulkier and cost more, but will be more likely to protect your data.
On a side note, if your computer has "firewire" you can find firewire external drives, and the data is transferred much faster than USB connection, especially if you have videos, music (large files) to pull and push.

I haven't tried these, but these are sold as being more durable. You may want to read some reviews to get a better feel for them:

I have a lot of gig in addition to my music, Douglas. I like the Hitachi, too....it seems rugged and has USB instead of AC. I have a Western Digital now and it works great, but is smaller and I think I just need another back up.....you know?
