I use this, specifically: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178110 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178... It's a Seagate Backup Plus 3TB. I believe Newegg had it on sale for $100 when I picked it up. Been using it for maybe 3 months now. So far so good. The drive seems to have no problem spinning down. But I typically unmount and unplug when I'm not using it, just to be on the safe side. I also looked into NAS, which is what I originally wanted to go with. But my concern was none of the cheap ones seemed capable or fast enough to do encryption.
