Which esata external drive would you recommend?

I'm using DVDFab 8 to copy the BluRay movie file to my hard drive, then ImgBurn to burn it to BluRay. When the burn has finished, I get an I/O error warning tht says: ScIStatus: 0x2 Interpretation: check condition CDB: 28 00 00 00 00 A0 00 00 01 00 Interpretation: Read (10) - Sector 160 Sense area: F0 00 03 00 00 00 A0 00 15 BA 8F 11 00 00 00 00 00 Interpretation: unrecovered read area The log says: I 08:36:44 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!
