Best External Hard Drive to Install CentOS 6.9 On?

[eas3964]

I'm looking for an external hard drive that I can install CentOS 6.9 on (the software I intend to run requires 6.x). I'm trying to avoid Western Digital since I've had problems with the system reading those before when I install CentOS. Specs listed below:

System specs:
Machine: Dell Inspiron 15 7000 gaming laptop, used for flight simming but also bought for processing and graphics power
Processor: Intel i5-7300HQ, 2.5 GHz, max 3.5 with Intel Turbo Boost
Memory: 8GB DDR4 RAM, upgradeable to 32GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card
Storage: 1TB HDD built in
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
