Advice on USB 3.0 Drive to use with readyNas Ultra 2

Hi - I currently have a USB drive attached to my Readynas Ultra 2 and use it for scheduled backups. However it is no longer big enough. I want to get one with USB 3.0 to utilise additional speed, but have read that some drives are better than others and some may even require their own power supply.

I would like to know a good 1 or 2TB drive that works without a power supply (so draws power down USB).

I was looking at Sumsung M3 and WD Password Ultra 2

Any views?
