Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=22-148-140)...thinking of getting it for an external HD backup.
has good rating in NE, but want to ask the experts in here first

yeah it's good.
even better 7200.11 500gb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148288
make sure your external has esata, a usb connection would be a waste on either drive.

I have 2x of those, runs without problems. The HDDs have a 5 years warranty or 700.000 hours. There is another model, the NS, dedicated to servers and enterprise storage, ST3320620NS, which has a MTBF (Mean time between failures) of 1.2 million hours.
good luck!

unfortunately, I'm installing this for my ANTEC External Aluminum USB 2.0 Hard Drive Enclosure (http://circuitcity.shoplocal.com/circuitcity/Default.aspx?action=browsepagedetail&storeid=2564643&rapid=481252&pagenumber=34&listingid=-2092369917):(
