You can pick up a Seagate Backup Plus 2TB for about $100. If you need a super portable one then you can pick up a WD Passport 1TB for about $70

Unless you need to backup extensive music/photo/video collection, 500-750Gb as backup drive is enough. If laptop has dvd burner, you could do hard backups for some more important files like photos and documents.
