I am looking for a hard drive that will back-up both my mac files (pics & itunes) and win XP files ms,exc (from parallels on my mac & my PC at work)

can anyone recommend an external hard drive (1-2 TB) for both a mac and a pc (win XP). The PC files are on a separate computer at work and from my mac from parallels. I am not super computer literate and will pay more for something that is easier

Do I need to leave this connected to my comptuer all the time. I want this just for back up and want to just connect when I add songs or photos

I know Time Machine auto backs up if I leave something connected to my computer but I never have. Don't want to spend the money on the Apple wifi product but don't want to have something connected to my computer all the time. I do want to be able to have a back up if something happens to my computer - the only real changes I make are adding photos and songs to my iTunes library. Having once had to recreate an iTunes library I don't want to do that again. Can I get this, back up my Mac and then disconnect it and simply reconnect it and back it up again say once a week or month or how ever often I want?
