All of the drives you have listed should work with the WD TV Live SMP.

It will be a matter of deciding what features you want.

If you are looking for portability, then the My Passport models will be your best bet.

For a complete list of the supported drives please see the link bellow:

Thanks for the response.

Without being too technical, what are the advantages for the more expensive drives?  All I want it to do is be plugged into my WDTV Live SMP and hold lots of video files.

Thanks,
