Reply to External HD that will stand the test of time??

Hey everyone I'm looking to buy an external 1TB / 2TB HDD. The use would be for my MBP time capsules and my music library mainly. This would be left at home out of harms way, so powered is cool with me too. I'm believeing I could utilize the firewire port instead of USB on my MBP because both of the existing USB ports are bieng used by my S4 and MF3D, and I've had some trouble with my USB hub :X........

Any suggestions anyone?? I know its just a HD but mine ALWAYS seem to break, glitch, catch fire (wait what?!) within 1 year or so of purchase..
