Prices vary depending on brand, model, and storage space of the external hard drive, though Sony recommends Seagate external Hard Drive due to it's higher compatibility than other external hard drives with the PlayStation 3 system. Be sure that when you buy one, you have one equal to or greater than the total capacity of your current PS3 to ensure that your data is transferred. If you do not have enough storage space, your data will not transfer at all.
