A-Data makes good quality memory cards, and now looks like they just came out with a portable 500GB drive. The black one is on sale for $80, and the reviews of the other ones are very good. It powers itself through its USB data cable, so no need to carry a power cable as well. Most low-profile portable 500GB drives like this cost $100 or more.
